Land of the Bottom Line

by John Gorka

I have chorded the song as if played in first postion.

However, he plays with a capo at the 4th fret.

Dsus2 = xx0210

Intro: Basically same as the Verse

I couldn't bribe a wino, on what I used to make

My fortune was as sure as the wind

But I was free to wonder, time was on my hands

It was mine to burn and to bend

Freedom for freedom, call that an even scheme

Give me time to wonder and to dream

I'll take the money, they'll take the time

Down to the land of the bottom line

To the bottom line.

Verses

Then there came a chance, to make some steady dough

Bouncing up my alley to the door

You fill your clothes with keys, and dammned responsibilities

Trading the maybe for the sure.

(Chorus)

All I ever wanted, was to be a kid and play

Fighting every change along the way

I don't like work, I don't like waste

And I don't like waiting for a taste.

(Chorus)
