Secuence chords:
Am B E Am Dm Am B E
Am B
Now everyone’s walking like they’re rolling in dough.
E Am
Throwing all their money around just for show.
Dm Am B E
Acting like everything is coming to them and knowing that more is just around the bend.
Am B E Am
But I’m the one who paved the way and laid my body in the road so you can walk on it today.
Dm Am

B E
You’re so high up, you forget to look down!
Am B
You call that gratitude?
E Am

I’m the well-paid slave and the roads that I paved took my career, that’s just what I gave.
Dm Am B E
Five years later they were rolling in clover but nothing for me, my career was over.
Am B E Am
If I’d been born just a generation later I could have settled up with an arbitrator.
