[A] Farmers, [C#] yes,
[G] [C#] we're a drag but we [F#] pass the time [Bm] somehow.
I'm in [A#] cahoots with [Bm] the upper [E] classes now.
[G] Put it all in a [F#m] trust fund, she can't touch it, she's [Bm] 21.
Amazingly cruel hand to feed, [D] a tax loss against [G] the state.
Had to move three times this year, [F#] rather me anyway than it.

[A] How scarce [C#] this hill.
[G] [C#] Can't believe that the [F#] vanishing point [Bm] appeared.

Put it on an H.S. [F#] for a luxury's an hour.
I said 21, [B] the champagne's nice, the giddy [D] light's [C#] paradise.
