Tom: G

G                 D                     Em         Bm
Have you seen the young girl who serves McDonald’s burgers,
C                G                  A      D
stacking them in boxes in their dry little piles?
G                  D
in her eyes you’ll see no pride,
Em                    Bm
’cause she knows what they’ve put inside,
C             G                  D             G
when she sees us eating it’s the only time she smiles.


[Chorus]
   C           Bm             G       Em Em/D A
So how can you tell me you’re hungry,
A                             D
and say a snack you’d like to find?
G               D               Em               Bm
let me take you by the hand and lead you through McDonald’s kitchen,
C             G            D                    G       G D Em D
i’ll show you something to make you change your mind.



[Verse]
G                 D               Em        Bm
Have you seen the old girl in the closed up Wendy’s,
C               G               A              D
scraping up the pieces from the tables and the floor?
G               D
in an effort to disguise them
Em                  Bm
she takes them back and fries them,
C             G                        D               G
but you still recognize them when they come round once more.

[Chorus]
   C           Bm             G        Em Em/D A
So how can you tell me you’re hungry,
A                             D
and say a snack you’d like to find?
G               D               Em               Bm
let me take you by the hand and lead you through McDonald’s kitchen,
C             G            D                    G       G D Em D
i’ll show you something to make you change your mind.


[Verse]
G                 D                   Em      Bm
Have you seen the businessman outside Colonel Sanders,
C            G            A               D
his appetite fading as he stops and peers inside?
G              D            Em          Bm
all around the city, little voices cry: “have pity
C           G                         D        G
on one more forgotten kitty who’s now kentucky fried.”

[Chorus]
   C           Bm             G        Em  Em/D A
So how can you tell me you’re hungry,
A                             D
and say a snack you’d like to find?
G               D               Em               Bm
let me take you by the hand and lead you through McDonald’s kitchen,
C             G            D                    G
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind.
