Biografía:
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.

¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Intro (all barre chords): D A Abm G
D Asus4
Piles and piles of old magazines
Em7 G
Windows locked up and hidden from the street.
D Asus4
In a crawlspace, forgotten money.
Em7 G
People tensing and waiting to come back home.
D Asus4 Em7
You can feel the tension in the house
G D Asus4
the moment you walk through the door.
Em7 G
Sudden madness allow me in again.
D A Abm G
When the first train flies past the house, miles away
D A
the screaming starts and it feels like a minefield,
Abm G
the neighbors silently hiding in the shadows.
D Asus4
There's a person locked in, behind that door -
Em7 G
Don't let anybody catch you turning the handle.
D B7 (barred) G A
It's a long, long night. It's going to be an awful and lonely night.
D A
Well...you can blot out the years and abandon the jungle
E G
Cover up the tapes and refuse to look back,
D B7 G A
but your own right hand is not gonna save your soul.
E G
You have been followed! Ah, the mechanics.
D A
All the reactions that seem to attach themselves.
E B G A
It's been a very very very long year and it's gonna be an even longer night.
D Asus4
And then a screen door slams; the windows break.
Em7 G
A woman just jumps and scrapes at the hood of a car.
D Asus4 Em7 G
When the car backs up into a streetlight, all of the neighbors call the cops.
D Asus4
She falls off and the car speeds away
Em7 G
Headed for the border of a far away state.
D Asus4 Em7
It's gonna mean an hour of freedom with the radio and quarter-filled gas tank.
G
And a quarter filled gas tank
e
With the high beams on
G A
And the windows down...
D Asus4 Em7 G till forever. improv all you want.
D Asus4
