CAPO: 3rd FRET
 
[Intro]
Am F
Am F
 
 
[Chorus]
AmIf you worked a little harder
FThen you'd have a lot more
AmSo the blame and the shame's on you
FFor being so damn poor
 
 
[Verse]
AmIt ain't the price gouging
FAnd it ain't the inflation
AmIt ain't everyone above ya
 
Tryna make a buck from ya
FAnd screwin' the whole congregation
 
AmI had that reduced lunch
FI had the benefit cards
AmIt never occured to me
 
To blame my family
FFor life being so damn hard
 
 
[Verse]
AmI sholda payed attention
FBack when I was in school
AmThen I could figure up the tax
 
I would know a lotta facts
FI missed the class
 
Where they taught the rules
 
AmI was memorizing capitols
FI was in the spelling bee
AmI musta skipped the part
 
Where they taught the art
FOf private equity
 
AmI was selling chocolate bars
FI had a disorder
AmI was cuttin' up a frog
 
Got lost in the fog
FLearnin' how to play recorder
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F Am FIf you only worked a little harder
C FIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
C FIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
 
 
[Chorus]
AmIf you worked a little harder
FThen you'd have a lot more
AmSo the shame and the blame's on you
FFor being so damn poor
 
 
[Verse]
AmIt ain't the banks
FAnd it ain't the taxes
AmIt ain't the payday loans
 
And high rent homes
FAnd predatory fees and practices
 
AmWave yer dumb flag
FWhatever it means
AmBut you should ask yourself
 
When it comes to health
FAre the poor really all that free?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C FIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
C FIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
 
 
[Chorus]
AmIf you worked a little harder
FYou'd have a lot more
AmSo the blame and the shame's on you
FFor being so damn poor
Am AmYeah
