Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
Em C
I’ve been selling my soul, working all day.
G D
Overtime hours, for bullshit pay.
Em C
So I can sit out here, and waste my life away.
G D
Drag back home, and drown my troubles away.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em C
It’s a damn shame, what the world’s gotten to.
G D
For people like me, and people like you.
Em C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true.
G D
But it is, aw it is.

[Chorus 1]
Em C G D
Livin’ in the new world, with an old soul.
Em C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
G D
just wanna have total control
Em C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do.
G D
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do.
Em C
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end
G D
‘Cause of rich men, north of Richmond.

[Verse 2]
Em C
I wish politicians would look out for miners.
G D
And not just minors on an island somewhere.
Em C
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat.
G D
And the obese, milkin’ welfare.
Em C
But God, if you’re five foot three and you’re three hundred pounds.
G D
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.
Em C
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground.
G D
‘Cause all this damn country does, is keep on kickin’ them down.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em C
Lord, it’s a damn shame, what the world’s gotten to.
G D
For people like me, and people like you.
Em C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true.
G D
But it is, aw it is.

[Chorus 2]
Em C G D
Livin’ in the new world, with an old soul.
Em C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
G D
just wanna have total control
Em C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do.
G D
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do.
Em C
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end
G D
‘Cause of rich men, north of Richmond.
