[D7]Let me tell you how it will be[G7] [D7]
There's one for you, nineteen for me[G7] [D7]
'Cause I'm the[C7] taxman, yeah, I'm the t[G7]axman[D7]
[2]
[D7]Should five per cent appear too small[G7] [D7]
Be thankful I don't take it all[G7] [D7]
'Cause I'm the ta[C7]xman, yeah I'm the t[G7]axman[D7]

[D7](If you drive a car car) I'll tax the street,
(If you try to sit sit) I'll tax[C7] your seat.
(If you ge[D7]t too cold cold) I'll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk walk) I'll [C7]tax your feet.
[D7]Taxman
Solo D7
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
[3]
Don't ask me what I want it for (ah ah, Mr Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more (ah ah, Mr Heath)
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
[4]Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.
