Biography:
The Taxpayers originated in 2007 in Portland, Oregon. Originally a three-piece guitar/bass/drum combination, the band incorporates accordion, horns, piano, harmonica, and other instruments during recording sessions. Currently they perform live with a range from three to eight members.
They strongly support the DIY punk ethic, booking their own shows, printing their own merchandise, printing CDs from scrap material, and hand-written notes and other gifts included with each CD.

[Verse]
E E A E C#m F#
When I was five I was king of the yard, and my grandfather said
A E E
I had one hell of an arm.
E E A E
I remember learning his split-finger fastball,
C#m F# A E E
and all the tales he would stretch with that famous Turner charm.
E E A E
And by the fire pit in my old backyard,
C#m F# A E E
I used to sit transfixed by his stories.
E E A E
About the time him and Mickey Mantle drank all night long,
C#m F# A E
spinning yarns of all their former glories.
[Bridge]
A A E B
And I remember Christmas eve when I was ten and Ma told Grandpa
C#m G# A
he was wasting my time.
A E
She sent him packing in the pouring rain;
B C#m G# A
things were never quite the same after that night.
[Verse]
E B
But in the package he left under the tree was a new silver wristwatch
B A G# E
addressed to his favorite grandson, Henry.
