Slap Leather Chords & Lyrics - James Taylor

[VERSE 1]

[A7]Take all the money that we need for school
[A7]And to keep the street people in out of the cold
[A7]Spend it on a weapon you can never use
[A7]Make the world an offer that they can't refuse

[VERSE 2]

[A7]Open up the door and let the shark-men feed
[A7]Hoover of the future in the land of greed
[A7]Sell the Ponderosa to the Japanese

[CHORUS]

[A7]Slap leather
Head for that line of [D7]trees, yeah
[A7]Slap leather
E7+9 A7
Go on Ron, just about to go myself

[VERSE 3]

A7+9 A7
Turn the whole wide world into a TV show
[A7]So it's just the same game wherever you go
[A7]You never meet a soul that you don't already know
[A7]One big advertisement for the status quo

[VERSE 4]

[A7]As if these celebrities were your close friends
[A7]As if you knew how the story ends
[A7]As if you weren't sitting in a room alone
[A7]And there was somebody real at the other end of the [D7]phone, yeah

[CHORUS]

Squib[A7]nocket
E7+9
Phone sex
Just about to dial your nu[A7]mber

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 5]

[A7]Get all worked up so we can go to war
[A7]We find something worth killing for
[A7]Tie a yellow ribbon around your eyes
Big McFalafel and a side of fries,[D7] yeah
