People [D] say a man is [G] made of mud, a [Gb] woman is made of shit,
[G] muscle and [Bb] blood, [C] skin and bone.
[Db] A man wears a wig and a bat, the [D] strong, you [Gm] are 60 times
and what do you get [G] out of the day [Gm]-old?
You call me, [Cm] but I cannot go, [Gm] I own my [D] soul to the company [G] store.
I [Gm] was born, born in Greenwich on the [D] rich side,
[Gm] I make the rich aware, give up to the mine, I'm only 60 times
[Cm] a humble and [Gm] cool, when Mr.
[D] Oboe said, [Db] well, bless my [D] soul,
you're lost [Gm] 60 times and what do you get [Gm] out of the day-old?
Everything's the same, but don't you know it, [Cm] cause I cannot go,
I owe [D] my soul to the company [G] store.
[Bb]
[G] [Gm] Skin did become a nasty [D] bad sight, a [Gm] lot of men did, a lot of men died,
[Gm] the one was so quiet, [Cm] the other so [Db] silly, the [G] right one,
the old and the left one, really, you're all [Gm] 60 times and what do you get
out of the day-old?
Everything's the same, but don't you know it, cause I cannot go,
[A] I owe [C] my soul to the company store.
[G]
I [Gm] was born, born in a poor, rustic place,
I'm bitter and I was raised in Cambridge, my [Cm] old mama lied,
and [D] all the folks who think me, [Eb] won't rely, they're [Gm] all 60 times
and what do you get out of the day-old?
Everything's the same, but don't you know it, [Cm] cause I cannot go,
[E] I owe [E] my [D] soul to [F] the [G] company [A] store.
