Land of the Bottom Line
by John Gorka
I have chorded the song as if played in first postion.
However, he plays with a capo at the 4th fret.
Dsus2 = xx0210
Intro: Basically same as the Verse
Verse:
C G D Em
I couldn't bribe a wino, on what I used to make
C G D Dsus2 D
My fortune was as sure as the wind
C G D Em
But I was free to wonder, time was on my hands
C G D Dsus2 D
It was mine to burn and to bend
Chorus:
Em C D Em
Freedom for freedom, call that an even scheme
C G D Dsus2 D
Give me time to wonder and to dream
Em C D Em
I'll take the money, they'll take the time
C G D Dsus2 D
Down to the land of the bottom line
Em
To the bottom line.
Verses
Then there came a chance, to make some steady dough
Bouncing up my alley to the door
You fill your clothes with keys, and dammned responsibilities
Trading the maybe for the sure.
(Chorus)
All I ever wanted, was to be a kid and play
Fighting every change along the way
I don't like work, I don't like waste
And I don't like waiting for a taste.
(Chorus)
