Rich Men North of Richmond Chords by Oliver Anthony

[Verse 1]
           Em               
I've been selling my soul, 
    C
working all day.
G                  D
Double time hours, for bullsh*t pay.
Em                    
So I can sit out here, 
C
and waste my life away.
G                        
Drag back home, and drink my 
 D
troubles away.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
        Em           
It's a damn shame, 
             C
what the worlds gotten to.
     G               
For people like me, 
         D
and people like you.
            Em             
Wish I could just wake up
        C
and it not be true.
G                D
But it is, aw it is.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
             Em          
Livin in the new world, 
   C      G     D
with an old soul.
           Em              
These rich men north of 
             C
richmond lord knows they all
         G                  D
just wanna have total control
                     Em      
Wanna know what you think, 
                   C
wanna know what you do.
                        G     
And they dont think you know, 
                    D
but i know that you do.
                       Em         
Cause your dollar ain't d*ck, 
                    C
and it's taxed to no end
               G                    D
Cause of ri-ch men, north of Richmond.
 
 
[Verse 2]
               Em           
I wish politicians would 
              C
look out for miners.
              G             
And not just minors on an 
               D
island somewhere.
              Em                
Lord we got folks in the street, 
                C
with nothin to eat.
          G                     D
And the obese, milkin' welfare.
                 Em                
But god if your five foot three, 
         C
and three hundred pounds.
       G                      
Taxes ought not to pay for your 
  D
bags of fudge rounds.
                Em                  
Young men are puttin themselves 
        C
six feet in the ground.
                G                  
Cause all this damn country does, 
             D
is keep on kickin' them down.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Em              
Lord it's a damn shame, 
        C
what the worlds gotten to.
     G                       D
For people like me, and people like you.
            Em            
Wish I could just wake up, 
        C
and it not be true.
G                D
But it is, aw it is.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
             Em              
Livin in the new world, 
     C     G     D
with an old soul.
           Em                
These rich men north of 
             C
richmond lord knows they all
         G                  D
just wanna have total control
                     Em      
Wanna know what you think, 
                   C
wanna know what you do.
                        G         
And they dont think you know, 
                    D
but i know that you do.
                       Em       
Cause your dollar ain't d*ck, 
                    C
and it's taxed to no end
               G                    D
Cause of ri-ch men, north of Richmond.
