The Rifles - Rat Race

      [Intro]
D#m* A#m** C#*
D#m A#m B C# (4x)

[Verse]
D#m                    A#m        B                       C#
You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need
D#m                     A#m         B              C#
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
D#m                   A#m             B        C#
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.
D#m              A#m      B              C#
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me

[Chorus]
F#      C#      D#m
Working for the rat race
F#              C#           D#m
You know you're wasting your time
F#      C#      D#m
Working for the rat race
D#m       B         C#
You're no friend of mine

[Verse]
D#m                 A#m         B                 C#
You plan your conversation to impress the college bar
D#m                     A#m        B         C#
Just talking about your Mother and Daddy's Jaguar
D#m                 A#m         B              C#
Wear your political T-shirt and sacred college scarf
D#m                       A#m   B              C#
Discussing the worlds situation but just for a laugh

[Chorus]
          F#      C#      D#m
You'll be working for the rat race
F#              C#           D#m
You know you're wasting your time
F#      C#      D#m
Working for the rat race
D#m       B         C#
You're no friend of mine

[Solo]
D#m A#m B C# (4x)

[Chorus]
F#      C#      D#m
Working for the rat race
F#              C#           D#m
You know you're wasting your time
F#      C#      D#m
Working for the rat race
D#m       B         C#
You're no friend of mine

[Chorus]
F#      C#      D#m
Working for the rat race
F#              C#           D#m
You know you're wasting your time
F#      C#      D#m
Working for the rat race
D#m       B         C#
You're no friend of mine

[Outro]
D#m* B** F#*
