[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Every [G]day it's harder tryin'
[D]to [Gm]make [G]more money
[D]Then it gets to tax time
[G]And it ain't so funny
Dollars in [D]my [G]pocket and right
out my back [D]door[G][A]
All them government men
[D]are just [G]tryin'
To make me poorer - that ain't fair
[D]I got [G]to testify, ain't no surrender
[D]My [G]time will be here by and by[D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]People [G]tel[Dm]l me,"Hey,why don't you cut
[D]our[G] wh[Gm]inin[G]g"[A]
Tell me, "Every cloud has [D]got[G]
[C]a sil[G]ver lin[C]ing"[G][C]
[G]But [D]when [C]you got[G][C]
[G]tha[C]t misery[G]
[D]Weighing [Gm]heavy on[G][D][G][C][D]
[G][Dm]
[D][Dm][D][G][D][Dm][D][G][D][G]
[A]you[D][G][D]
[Gm]It's hard to take a look at it
[D]And see [G]your way through
So I say I got to testi[D]fy[G]

[Verse 3]
When [G]you're taken sick
[Dm]You're [D]gon[G]na[D][Gm]
[G]nee[A]d your doctor
But when you're feeling [D]lowdown

[Verse 4]
[G]Need a friend to talk
[Dm]The train [D]tha[G]t you ride
Don't always [Dm]go your [D]way[G]
But they say that every dog is [Dm]gon
[D]na have [G]it'[C]s day[Dm]
[D]So [Dm]I say I got to testify

[Verse 5]
[D]I've had my ups and [Dm]downs
like everybody else
Sometimes been abandoned
Left back on the shelf
If the horse can throw you
Get back up there in the saddle
If you fall into the water
Get back in that boat and paddle
So I [Dm]say I got to testify
