Neil Young - Payola Blues: chords

                C
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
'Cause the things they're doing today
                            F
Will make a saint out of you
         C
Payola blues.
              G
I've got the payola blues
       F                       C
Even though I already paid my dues.

        C
Listen to me Mr. D.J., hear what I've got to say
                                                           F
If a man is making music, they ought to let his record play.
         C
Payola blues
    G
No matter where I go
   F                           C
I never hear my record on the radio.

"Well, here's three thousand, that ought to get it on"
"Well, thanks a lot man! I love your new song"
Payola blues
No matter where I go I never hear my record on the radio
It goes like this

I got a brand new record company, new manager too
Got a great new record I can't get through to you
Payola blues
No matter where I go I never hear my record on the radio

How about this new Mercedes Benz? That ought to get it on
Well, thanks a lot man! I'll play it all day long
Payola blues
No matter where I go I never hear my record on the radio

I've got the payola blues, payola blues
I'm paying those payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio
