Chorus

The price of [D]gas gives me gas,the price of [G]oil makes me boil.


[D]Who's to blame for this drain on [A]todays so-ci-ety.[A7]


It would be [D]nice not to fight ,with my [G]paycheck all my life.


[D]But I hear, the [A]oilman cheer and the [A]tax man snear, cause a records here.[D]




       


Now [A]Monday morning first I rise,than [D]drive to work but close my eyes.


I [A]know if I look up what I will [D]see.


[A]Gas is up 10 cents a litre,[D]Trucks on E and I cant feed her.


My [E]belly starts to [E7]swell then comes that [A]smell.[A7]Well




Chorus                 

The price of gas gives me [D]gas ,the price of [G]oil makes me boil.

It would be [D]nice not to fight,with a [G]paycheck all my life.


[D]But I hear, the [A]oilman cheer and the [A]tax man snear,cause a [D]records here.


       


Now [A]over in the emerald isle,sweet [D]Lena goes on with a smile.


Though [A]oil and gas has gone up drasticall[D]y.


[A]In the ports the tankers waiting,and [D]Lena, she's conspiritating


[E]That they're waiting [E7]for their price to [A]sell.[A7] well

[D]But I hear,the [A]oilman cheer and the [A]tax man snear cause a [D]records here


         


Now [A]way down south in Tennessee, the [D]riddler shows what life could be.


They're [A]trying to pass a law to boost [D]moral.


[A]Gas attendants wear a mask, then [D]draw a gun and take your cash.


[E]Cause if it's legal [E7]who the hell can[A]tell. [A7]Well

So [A]let me give you all a warning,[D]flatulence helps global warming.


[A]Drifting in the air that we all [D]breath.


[A]So I ask you please no farting,[D]we don't need nobody starting.


A [E]global chain-[E7]reaction straight from [A]hell. [A7]well

love is life ,life is for love,keep a true heart and live life to the full....stay cool

Re: The Price of Gas Gives Me Gas

Re: The Price of Gas Gives Me Gas

Great song. Very close to home I'm afraid. I will try this song out .....if I have any strength left after RIDING MY BICYCLE TO WORK from now on because I cant afford to drive my bloody car !!!! I could sling the old guitar over my shoulder I spose...... : )

A five yr old could understand this. Somebody fetch a five yr old !

Re: The Price of Gas Gives Me Gas

hi kap54,

i liked the song a lot, even though it is a little too close to home, the tanker drivers of one company have gone on strike here, [uk] driving up the price even further! and as a singer i'm a little worried that i may not be able to get to gigs, just as you are worried that you cant get to your delivery point. if the price of fuel is high in canada, us and australia, just imagine how crippling it is here, i was in oz last year and i couldnt get over how cheap petrol was out there compared to the uk.
and apart from all the politics your song takes me back to the protest songs of the 60's where bob dylan and his like thought they could change the world by writing songs in the hope of changing society. as long as there are employers and employees, governments and revenue collectors, tax men and taxpayers...society will always remain as the who say; " here comes the new boss, just like the old boss..."

sorry this is so depressing, i've just come home from holiday, i'm back in work tonight, it's 8.30 am, and i can't sleep, so i'm just ratty as hell.

love the song, keep em coming

phill

ps. is the internet the new cb?

Re: The Price of Gas Gives Me Gas

Just a second Phil, Let me check....Come in Rubber Ducky....Whats yer 10-20....Come back...Rubber Ducky...Come back.
Me thinks it is.
Have seen a lot on the news about the truckers striking.Now I'm not a big Union fan but they "do have their place and this is one of them".Man...Can the new boss screw things up any more.LOL
Between imperial and standard,the Euro and the Louney, the american gallon smaller,its no wonder nobody can fix this mess.It confuses the hell out of me.
Hope you had a good holiday   KAP54

Re: The Price of Gas Gives Me Gas

My apologies for bringing this thread back up. smile I did a re-write in April  and thought that if gas ever went back up I would post up the 2nd version. Well gas is now $1.01 a liter. 3 months ago it was $0.65. That is up over $1.00 a gallon US in 3 months. Oye. sad. Anyways...here's the 2nd version. Picture a 5 man band of good old boys playing and farting around. lots of harmonizing.
Enjoy
