Am7              Em7

■ 'cause you don't look like they do
     Am7         Em          D                   C

[Verse]
               Am7             Em        
Yeah Well they passed a law in 'sixtyfour
   D                    C            G   
To give those who ain't got a little more
D           C          
But it only goes so far
           Am7              Em
