MINIMUM WAGE IS A GATEWAY DRUG Dillinger Four
I love this song, had to figure it out. First tab ever!
Intro:
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[A] [G] [D] [G] [D]
Verse:
Yeah I'm [D]stealing cigarettes Selling them [A]off to friends for rent
Plus a [B]paycheck and still in debt I'm asking, how [G]could it be?
I [D]know they know I'm beneath them Even homeless [A]a**holes know my name
Now it's [B]Urban Flight or cell for the night Y'know it's [G]all the same
Pre-chorus:
One can [A]tell themselves About when [G]going gets tough
But [A]determination Just [G]ain't enough
A G (strum once)
When over-time defines your life
Chorus:
This American [D]Me[G] [A]
This American [D]Me[G] [A]
Verse 2 (same as first):
[D]Tradition tells us home own But the [A]timecards saying no go
Now the [B]suits are talking foreclose From sea to [G]shining sea
Time [D]was a war time economy Was a [A]silver lining to tragedy
But even [B]those with homes are now those alone In the [G]land of the free
I [A]asked for nothing And I [G]got it in spades
[A]Worked for a living and I [G]earned a cage
A G (strum once)
Now they say I look old for my age
This American [D]me[G] [A]
This American [D]me[G] [A]
I'm pretty sure that's right. Feel free to correct if not!
