This is a fun one especially If you have a loop pedal.. just lay down a beat and overdub
plucking in E MajorE minor for an interesting background layer for the main guitar riff E minorEm to
parts

E minorEm
There's one guy I'd like to thank he signs the checks and leaves them blank
     B minorBm
he's the one
       E minorEm
he says you don't have to walk a plank the game is rigged, go figure
B minorBm
slide show tanked
         D MajorD
and your flagship sank
       B7B7
so we're taking all our myths to the bank
 B7B7
so just don't, Don’t forget who to thank
    B7B7
we're taking our myths to the
    A augmentedA
we’re drinking a fifth to the
      B7B7
we're taking all our myths to the bank  Oh no

Riff/solo
E minorEm
If you could just do him this favor, although it might involve child labor
      B minorBm
join his entourage give him a foot massage
     E minorEm
from Star Search to the Philharmonic he'll get you there with Hooked on Phonics
        B minorBm
he's the one to know
                    D MajorD
doesn't matter if you blow – no no, no no
               G+G
in fact it's just the thing
          B7B7
he thinks we're needing
     G+G
it's a lukewarm liquid diet
      B7B7
they're force feeding
       B7B7
when the words we use have lost their bite
   G+G
now they hit you like an imaginary pillow fight
   FF
but it's all right
        B7B7
cause you're inside and you're in tight

(Fingerpick this part)
B7B7
deals in commodities of the abstract sort
buys them in bulk but sells them short
talent, genius, love even signs of affection
he floods the market there's no price protection
     B7B7
and when his master plan is unfurled
    G+G
