CAPO: 1st FRET
 
[Intro]
A7 A7
 
 
[Verse]
A7Well I really don't care if I ain't western as fuck
A'Cause I don't wear a hat and I don't drive a truck
DI made everything but a living
AMy voice gotten used
A7I ain't selling my soul for a couple of views
 
 
[Chorus]
GPayola for thee
DPayola for playlist
A7But check my hearts and follows and streams
 
 
[Verse]
A7Well license you sung will give you 60 percent
 
Will advance you some dough so you got money to spend
DPut it all toward promotion when she blows up
N.C.
Big high five, her fat ass is worth her 40 percent
 
 
[Chorus]
GPayola for thee
DPayola for playlist
A7 A7 A7 A7But check my hearts and follows and streams
 
 
[Verse]
A7There are folks in the business no older than me
 
That ain't never done nothing but email and drink
D7And the Coke in the kitchen it ain't Coca-Cola
A7And they'll swear and declare (snort)
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C G
Payola, payola, payola for thee
D A7Brought to you by nepotism and veiled in authority
 
G DPayola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz
A A7And the curtains, the Do re mi, mi, mi
 
 
[Instrumental]
A7 A7 D7 A7 G D D7 A7 G D7 A7 A7
 
 
[Verse]
A7I ain't never been viral but I've had the flu
 
It was hard to monetize but I made it through
N.C. D7
And when the 'Rona' came and the labels went home
A N.C.
We went back to Starbucks they took PPP loans
 
 
[Chorus]
GPayola for thee
DPayola for playlist
A7But check my hearts and follows and streams
 
G DPayola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz
A A7And the curtains, the Do re mi, mi, mi
 
 
[Verse]
A7And the cowboy cosplay of Music City
 
To the LA cyborgs and New York pretty's
D7 AAustin City's got no limit for DMT dreams
A7It's all bought and paid for
N.C.
It ain't all as it seems
 
 
[Chorus]
G DPayola for thee it's a vending machine
A7Of the music industry
 
G DPayola for thee is the Wizard OF Oz
A7And the curtains, the Do re mi
 
 
[Break]
N.C.
It's a shallow money trench, Thompson's correct
 
So through an ocean of shit and you still get wrecked
 
 
[Chorus]
G DAnd payola for thee brought to you by nepotism
A7And veiled in authority
 
G D APayola for thee is a vending machine
A7Of the music industry
 
G DPayola for thee is the Wizard OF Oz
A7 A7 A7 A7And the curtains, the Do re mi, mi, mi
