Intro
G G G G

Verse 1
G
Got my irons in the fire down in Texas
                        D
Got a toe hold in Tennessee
       G                        C
Got my foot in the door of that California Store
        G        D       G
Now I'm up to my ears in me

Chorus:
            C                         G
Don't be concerned if the song sounds familiar
            C                          D
Don't be concerned if it all seems the same
           C                              G
Just be concerned that your policies will kill you
              D        G
It's all just public domain

Verse 2
G
I took a bite of the Big Apple
                                D
And I dabbled in that forbidden fruit
        G                            C
No they promised me points, and they slipped me skinny joints
         G      D          Em           
And I've yet to see me any loot
          G          D                 G 
From that man in the high-heeled Gucci shoes

Chorus

Verse 3
A
I sang in the Red River Valley
                                   E
I've drank with the poets in Santa Fe
        A                            D
Yeah, I ran from the snuff queens in Dallas
       A             E          F#m
Like I ran from Snow White in L.A.
         A             E           A
Now I've broken all my vows to Demolay

Chorus:
            D                            A
Don't be concerned if the song sounds familiar
            D                          E
Don't be concerned if it all seems the same
           D                              A 
Just be concerned that your politics will kill you
                  E         A
And it's all just public domain
                  E            A
It makes sense to get into the rain
