Tuning: Standard (Capo 2nd fret)
BmThere’s no work to be found, everybody’s hiAgher on the ground
                         G                  A     D  G-D  
Since the jobs all went abroad across the sea
Well the uBmnion trumped the unions, now the liAttle guy is frozen
                            G                 A           D  G-D  
We’re not standin’ in the streets with signs anymore… what the hell for?
Chorus:
                      Bm                 G             A       D  G-D

Grow bananas in another land, and ease the travelin’ through
 Bm   D  A…  Bm   D  A…  Bm   D  A…     D  G-D

                    G                 A      D  G-D  
Chuck says it’s all downhill since Hoover
Traps and tBmrees can be enough to eat, nobAody’s neighbors got to cheat
                  G                     A      D  G-D  
Or steal another gallon of that Texas tea… black gold that is

Maybe corporate farmers will sell it over the counter
I heard a trBmopic breeze is nicer, nothin’ taAstes like curried lobster

Some people run away from democracy… to be more free
