Taxman 


Solo           D7


'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for (ah ah, Mr Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more (ah ah, Mr Heath)

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman


4
Now my advice for those who die

Declare the pennies on your eyes

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me.
