Intro:  A   D   A   E   A

Verse 1:

A
Well these are, hard times we're living in 
                    
Nobody cuts you any slack
       
We got space-age machinery, atone-age emotions
  E
Today a man had better watch his back
      A
Every-body's selling somethin', the baron and the bumpkin
                                   D
A man has got to fight for what is his
                E
If what they're offering to you, looks too good to be true
        
You can bet your bottom dollar that it is


Chorus 1:

    A                                                   D
No, thank you, I don't think so, I think I'm smellin' a rat 
      A                                                 E                    A
Don't tell me, what you're gonna do for me, 'cause I've been there, and done that


Verse 2:

     A
Lady Luck's been good to me, I'm as grateful as can be
                                         
Never thought this crazy ride would ever last 
          
Though no-stalgia is fine, I respectfully decline
   E
To spend my future living in the past
          A
I've been carrying my load down this same old rocky road
                                  D
Every day I'm getting deeper in a rut
E
Workin' overtime, now a dollar's worth a dime
    
And everybody wants a bigger cut


Chorus 2:

    A                                                          D
No, thank you, I don't think so, You must think I'm blind as a bat
          A                                                  E                    A
I sure ap-preciate what you're tryin' to do for me, but I've been there, and done that


Bridge:

D                                    A
B.S. blaring from the radio, the TV, hot wind blowin' off the hill
       D                                             E
It's a mystery to me we can't agree to disagree it's lookin' like we never, ever will


Verse 3:

       A
Like a drunkard in the night, swingin' left and swingin' right
                       D
Re-pub-li-can or Dem-o-crat
      E
Well, I ain't got no love, for none of the above
                             A
‘cause I've been there, done that

Chorus 3:

    A                                              D
No, thank you, I don't think so, it's a little too pat
      A                                     E                    A
Don't tell me, to take it easy, ‘cause I've been there, and done that
    A                                                       D
No. thank you, I don't think so, there's nothin' under your hat
      A                                   E                    A
No, I won't be in your movie, 'cause I've been there, and done that

     E                    A
I've been there, and done that
     E                    A
I've been there. and done that
