[Verse 1]
Am Em
Daddy had a rant in the shed one night, goin' off about federal hall
G Dm
Workin' on the mower and workin' on a bottle of rum
Am Em
I passed him a socket, a nine sixteenths, with a three and a quarter inch drive
G E7 Am
This is how it was when he was still alive
[Verse 2]
Am Em
With a fire in his eye, he let out a cry, "Them crooks in federal hall
G Dm
The pricks on the hill don't care about you and me
Am Em
I'll vote for the man who gathers the parties and takes them out to sea
G E7 Am
To dump 'em in the ocean where the rest of the garbage goes
[Chorus]
C G F Am
I've taken time to think about it
C G F Am
The profiteers will raid the gold
C
They're fuckin' with our money son
G
They're fuckin' with our money son
Dm
They're fuckin' with our money son"
F E7 Am
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
[Instrumental]
Am G F E7 Am
[Verse 3]
Am Em
With my hat in my hand, I was taking a stand, I ran for federal hall
G Dm
Mad at the world and full of grim resolve
Am Em
I told the old man not to worry, not to fret that I intended to be
G E7 Am
A man of the people and he'd be proud of me
[Chorus]
C G F Am
Now you won't have to think about it
C G F Am
The profiteers won't raid the gold
C
"They're fuckin' with our money son
G
They're fuckin' with our money son
Dm
They're fuckin' with our money son"
F E7 Am
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
[Solo]
Dm

Am G C F
Am G F E7 Am
[Verse 4]
Am Em
Twenty years later I'm a mover and shaker, and banished to federal hall
G Dm
Playing two bit games and arguing for nothing at all
Am Em
Biding my time, nothing on the line, a shadow of what I should be
G E7 Am
Now daddy's in heaven and he ain't proud of me
[Chorus]
C G F Am
I've had some time to think about it
C G F Am
My daddy said they'd raid the gold
C
"They're fuckin' with our money son
G
They're fuckin' with our money son
Dm
They're fuckin' with our money son"
F E7 Am
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
