The Rich Get Richer -original 2 chord song on GDg CBG

This song could have lots more verses. If you have one, let’s see it. Put it in the comments. Clockwork offered two good verses and I used one, the window washer verse.
The song was inspired by songs Slowpaw Steve and Leadfoot have done and the comments of everyday life. 2 chords! Could not afford 3 right now.

The Rich Get Richer

[I] Bev’s a beautician; at night she tends bar, To feed the kids and drive a crappy car.

CHORUS : And the [IV] rich get richer and the [I] poor stay poor.
And the [IV] rich get richer and the [I]poor stay poor.

Wayne works hard, his hours are long;
Pays more taxes than the rich, the system’s gone wrong.

Mike’s a window washer. He can barely move sometimes,
Healthcare don’t pay nothin’ but nickels and dimes.

They go down to Walmart; buy things they think they need
And the things they buy are mostly Chinese.

Politician, fat cat and millionaire,
Screw them poor people, he just don’t care.

Comment by Uncle John on February 23, 2012 at 8:09am: Good verse there, Dave. Would I need to fake an Aussie accent to sing that one? Will go back and check the southern cross.
