Verse 1:
C majorC
Once I was a soldier
            G+G
I rode on a big white horse
C majorC
Silver pistols at my side
            G+G
Carryin' the flags of war
E minorEm                  B minorBm E minorEm
And I lost track of the men who fell
        A augmentedA
In the canon's roar
A augmentedA          D7D7
I never got over bein' a soldier

G+G    G+G    G+G    G+G

C majorC
Once I was a tax man
             G+G
Collectin' dollars and dimes
C majorC
I heard the rich man grumble
           G+G
I heard the poor man cry
E minorEm                B minorBm E minorEm
Some few couldn't afford to pay
         B minorBm
Were put to a shackle and key
A augmentedA         D7D7
I never got over bein' a tax man

G+G    G+G    G+G    G+G

C majorC
Once I was a ruler
           G+G
About twelve inches long
C majorC
Three times me made a yardstick
G+G
36 inches high
E minorEm          B minorBm E minorEm
36 inches high was I
B minorBm
36 inches high
A augmentedA         D7D7
I never got over 36 inches high
