Tom: C

            C        G
We heard it over the wires
     Am                 G
that everybody here was fired
       Am                     G
but we never really even felt hired
           Dm                G
so we felt bad, but not that bad.

        C           G
We just pressed the chords
        Am                     G
started singing like we sung before
         Am                G
we got enough so who needs more
           Dm           G
of what we never really had

           C                  C7    <--- C7 in the song, but not *needed*
And as the Label went down in flames,
    F             F7                <---ditto with F7^
red ink and legal claims
        C               Dm
we kept singing for the same
G7                      C
reasons that we'd sung before.
