The Rolling Stones

VERSE:
              A
       Yeah, momma and poppa told me
              D
       I was crazy to stay
              A
       I was gay in New York
                   D
       Which is a fag in L.A.
          A
       So I saved my money
           D
       And I took a plane
            A               D 
       Wherever I go they treat me the same


CHORUS:
                 A               D
       When the whip comes down
                 A               D
       When the whip comes down
                 A               D
       When the whip comes down
                 A               D     A  D      A  D
       When the whip comes down


VERSE:
       I'm going down fifty-third street
       And they're spitting in my face
       I'm learning the ropes
       Yeah I'm learning a trade
       The east river truckers
       Is churning with trash
       I've got so much money
       That I'm spending so fast


CHORUS 2:
       When the whip comes down
       When the whip comes down
       When the whip comes down
       When the whip comes down
                 A
       When the shit hits the fan
                 D
       I'll be sitting on the can
       When the whip comes down


VERSE:
       Yeah, some called me garbage
       While I was sleeping on the street
       I never roll
       And I never cheat
       I'm filling a need
       I'm plugging a hole
       My mama's so glad
       I ain't on the dole


CHORUS 3:
       When the whip comes down
       When the whip comes down       
       When the shit hits the fan
       I'm sitting on the can
       When the whip comes down
                                  G  D   G  D   G  D
       When the whip comes down
