Rich Folks Hoax - Rodriguez

[Verse] (Bm Bm Em F# x2) - F#

         Em F# Bm Bm     - Em (F#) Bm Bm

The moon is hanging - In the purple sky

Baby's sleeping - While its mother sighs

Talking 'bout the rich folks

Rich folks have the same jokes

And they park in basic places - …

The priest is preaching

From a shallow grave       [Intro] Bm Bm

He counts his money                Bm Bm

Then he paints you saved

Talking to the young folks       [Cho-

Young folks share the same jokes    rus]

But they meet in older places      Em F#

                                   Bm Bm

So don't - Tell me about your success

Nor your recipes - For my happiness

Smoke in bed     - I never could digest

Those illusions

You claim to have going          [Verse]

                                 (F# F#)

The sun is shining - As it's always done

Carbon dust is the fate - Of everyone

Talking 'bout the rich folks

The poor create the rich hoax   [Chorus]

And only late breastfed fools   [Solo

Believe it                       Chorus]
