By:   The Beatles

[intro:] 2 x D7

[verse]
 
    D7                         D7#9  D7
Let me tell you how it will be
    D7                              D7#9  D7
There's one for you nineteen for me
                C7                    G7     D7
Cause I'm the taxman   Yeah I'm the taxman
 
 
[verse]
        D7                          D7#9  D7
Should five percent appear too small
      D7                         D7#9  D7
Be thankful I don't take it all
                C7                    G7     D7
Cause I'm the taxman   Yeah I'm the taxman
 
 
[bridge:]
 
         D7
If you drive a car car  I'll tax the street
                            C7
If you try to fix it  I'll tax your seat
        D7
If you get too cold  I'll tax the heat
                           C7             C7   
If you take a walk  I'll tax your feet 
  D7
