Use your fingers and slap the tops of the strings after each chord for percussion (Listen to the song to get the timing right!)

It would be a waste of time to write the same parts over and over again (OKAY SO I'M LAZY!!!) WORDS: Work ourselves, fingers to the bone Suck the marrow, drain my soul Pay your dues, and your debts, Pay your respects Everybody tells you You pay for what you get Everybody asks me how's she doing Has she really lost her mind? I said, I couldn't tell you I've lost mine Words, words, words, have you heard A bird in hand is much better than Any number free to wander Fly away... Stay You pay for what you get Everybody asks me how's she doing Is she really all she says... Everybody asks me how's she doing Since she went away I said, I couldn't tell you, I'm okay Surprise, surprise You pay for what you get You pay for what you get Everybody asks me how's she doing Has she lost her... Everybody asks me how's she doing Since she went away I said, I couldn't tell you, I'm okay, I'm okay How are you? Pay for what you get Pay for what you get... oh... Pay for what you get Pay for what you get... Oh...
