[D]Corpora[C]tions turn[G] revolutions
[A]Forty five [G] [A]
[D]So don't you [E]weep and shed
[D/F#]Just change your [E/G#]name instead
[D/A]What you lose when it [E/B]all goes to your head?
[A]I heard some[G]thing pe[D]culiar [C]said [D]
[D]"Perhaps he's got a [C]shot and [G]now he's dead"
[A]Forty five [G] [A]
