Taxman

Taxman

        "Taxman" is a song written by George Harrison heading off the album Revolver. In this, George is rebelling against British taxes, whereby over time, he figured that most of their earnings went to taxes. Although George was The Beatles' lead guitar player, the famous opening riff, believed by many to be played by George, was actually done by Paul. It was recorded on April 21 and 22, and May 16, 1966.

Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman 

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman 

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet. 

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman 

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.
