Verse 1
(G major) I feel (F sharp major) (D major) (G major) so good, come payday
I think of all the things
I'm gonna buy my girl
When I pick up my weekly pay (D major)
Hey, don't you know?
Then they hand me that little brown envelope
I peep inside and, Lord, I lose all hope
Cause from that total wages earned down
to that net amount that's due
I feel a painful sense of loss
between the two (G major)
Aftertax, (D major) there goes that
bracelet for her arm (G major)
Aftertax, (D major) there goes that
new fence for my farm (G major)
After (E minor) tax, (D major) there goes a
brand new Zodiac (G major)
After tax, (D major) there goes the
shirt right off my back (G major)
You can dream (C major) of T -bone
steaks and champagne too (G major)
You can dream (C major) and that's
about all that you can do (G major)
Cause by (D major) the time (C major) your good old
government get through (D major)
You can buy a honey pair of hoes,
a little pounder for a tiny nose
And take a down at Sloppy Joe's
for beer and stew (G major)
Them are the (D major) facts, after tax, (G major) after tax
If you can dream (C major) about
vacations in the sun (G major)
You can (D major) dream (C major) and maybe
have a little fun (G major)
But by the time (C major) your good old
government gets (D major) done
You've got just enough forecasts
to see them pretty slivers pass
And if you get back home first class,
I'll say you've (G major) won
After tax, (D major) there goes that
bracelet for her (G major) arm
After tax, (D major) there goes that new
fence for my farm (G major)
(D major) Aftertax, it was a brand new Zodiac, (G major)
Aftertax, (D major) taking the shirt
right off the back, (G major)
Aftertax, (D major) look at this thing
turn off that radio, (G major)
After tax, (D major) to Mallorca we can (G major) go.
