[Verse 1]
E
You saw the sign on a pick-up truck and bought a guitar with a borrowed buck
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
E
They liked your song, they were hot for you, you got the job, there was work to do
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
[Chorus]
ABAB
But waiting, there was someone waiting for you, claiming a piece of everything that you do
EC#mEC#m
It seems I’ve heard your story all bef-o-r-e, someone’s standing knocking at your d-o-o-r
F#m
Your early morning wake up call, the bags are packed and in the hall
B
The managers ran off with all the money that you made
[Verse 2]
E
You get on stage nearly every night, you work around till you get it right
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
E
And then you sign for a record deal and off you go on the music wheel
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
[Chorus]
ABAB
But waiting, there was someone waiting for you, claiming a piece of everything that you do
EC#mEC#m
It seems I’ve heard your story all bef-o-r-e, someone’s standing knocking at your d-o-o-r
F#m
Your early morning wake up call, the bags are packed and in the hall
B
The managers ran off with all the money that you made
[Bridge]
C#mA
You made the charts and all the hangers on were hanging on
EAEAD
Flashing knives behind your back, living in your money sack
C#mBB
And you were thinking you got it made
[Verse 3]
E
You do the tours and the interviews, you meet the press and you’re in the news
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
E
You hear your song on the radio, you see your face on the TV shows
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
[Chorus]
ABAB
But waiting, there was someone waiting for you, claiming a piece of everything that you do
EC#mEC#m
It seems I’ve heard your story all bef-o-r-e, someone’s standing knocking at your d-o-o-r
F#m
Your record isn’t selling well, the tickets to your shows don’t sell
F#m
You look around and suddenly, you find that you’ve got leprosy
F#m
The taxman’s coming after you, your lawyer and your girlfriend too
F#mB
And the managers ran off with all the money that you made
[Verse 4]
E
Na, na, na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
E
Na, na, na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na
C#m
(Na, na, na) And you dig it, - - - and you dig it
ABAB
waiting, there was someone waiting for you, claiming a piece of everything that you do ... (fade out)
