Aerosmith - Eat the Rich
Originally in E, I play in E and sing the chorus an octave down
Intro
NC
Wake up kids, it’s half past the youth
Ain’t nothin’ really changin’ but the date
You’re a grand slammer, but you’re no Babe Ruth
You gotta learn how to relate
Or you’ll be swingin’ from the pearly gate
Yeah, I got all the answers, and lo and behold you got the right key baby
But the wrong key hole, yo
More Em, than E, mix in some 7#9’s
E5
Well, I wE5oke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed
And a-hE5ow I got to thinkin’ about all those things you said
About oE5rdinary people and how they make you sick
And if cE5allin’ names kicks back on you then I hope this does the trick
Cause I’m E5sick of your F#5complainin’ aboutGhow many biAlls
And I’m siE5ck of all your F#5bitchin’ ‘bout your Gpoodles and your Apills
And I E5just can’t see no F#5humor aboGut your way of Alife
And I Bthink I can do more for you with this here fork and knife
Simplifying the riff to chords, removing some V’s for playability
E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, there’s D5only one thing that A5they’re gGood E5for
E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, I take D5one bite now and come A5back Gfor E5more

E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, I take oD5ne bite now, spit A5out Gthe rE5est, uh-huh
E5
So I cE5alled up my head shrinker and I told him what I’d done
He said you’d bE5est go on a diet, yeah I hope you have some fun
And a’dE5on’t go burst a bubble on the rich folks who get rude
‘Cause you wE5on’t get in no trouble when you eats that kinda food
Well now their E5smokin’ up their F#5junk bonds, and Gthen they go get Astiff
And they’re E5dancin’ in the F#5yacht club, with GMuff and Uncle ABiff
But there’s E5one good thing that F#5happens, when you Gtoss your pearls to Aswine
Their Battitudes may taste like dirt, but go real good with wine
E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, there’s D5only one thing that A5they’re gGood E5for
E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, I take D5one bite now and come A5back Gfor E5more
E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, I D5gotta get this A5off Gmy E5chest
E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, I take oD5ne bite now, spit A5out Gthe rE5est

No more hard stops, band back in
E5

Then E5you won’t get no F#5belly ache, from Geatin’ humble Apie
I beliE5eve in rags to F#5riches, your inheritaGnce won’t Alast
So takBe your Grey Poupon my friend, and shove it up your ass!
E5Eat tD5he rA5ich, there’s D5only one thing that A5they’re gGood E5for
