Verse 1:

G
Mmm
   G                   Bbsus2
My country's bird is a vulture
    Ebsus2              Csus2
Her wings are black and runny
G                           Bbsus2
Perched on the backs of the penniless
       Ebsus2           Csus2
In the land of silk and       money

G5      Bbsus2 Ebsus2 Csus2
Ooh ooh
G5 (Bbsus2) Ebsus2 Csus2

Verse 2:

    G5                Bbsus2
The governor sucks an oyster
     Ebsus2                         Csus2
Well my friends we scramble for the clam
    G5              Bbsus2
You see how far the shyster
Ebsus2           Csus2
See how steel'll bend
    G5                     Bbsus2
One day they appear as the weasels
Ebsus2                Csus2
Hopping in and out of Broadway
     G5                     Bbsus2
They made their fortunes in diesel
Ebsus2                 Csus2
Just about the time of Red Square
G5

Chorus:
G             Csus2(2)
Here come the ratman

Well it's time to begin the healin'
        Ebsus2          Csus2
Say the rich men to the law
G5                        Bbsus2
  So let the rich and the D.A. yeah
         Esus2       Csus2
Let them heel like a dog
  G5                 Bbsus2
Behind are the naked ankles
  Ebsus2            Csus2
Behind are the bare feet
      G5                     Bbsus2
But I see no shade under the Star Spangled
Ebsus2        Ebsus2
Up and on the heat
G5
