i don’t know if it’s all 100% accurate , and some chords sound a little weird , but these are close .
standard tuning
no capo

G D
did you give it away
G D Em
did you give it away for free
D Em
don’t you give it away
D
let’s try to keep it in the family
Em G
i know you know desolation
Em G D Em
coming home with your pockets full of sand
G
i know it’s no vacation
Em G D C
now you’re plowing your tiny patch of land
C D G
in a nation under your command
G D
did you give it away ( yeah i gave it away )
G D Em
did you give it away for free
Em D
what would you have us pay?
D Em
i didn’t know that your love was a commodity
Em G
what about appreciation
Em G D Em
that depends on your depth and density
Em G
what about inflation
Em G D C
your charts and graphs don’t mean a thing to me
C D G
in your nation with its worthless currency

G D
would you hide in the hay
G D Em
would you hide in the hay with me
Em D
won’t you hide in the hay
Em D
where it’s dark and we can scarcely breathe or see
Em G
assured asphyxiation
Em G D Em
where the foxes and field mice make their dens
Em G
death by association
Em G D C
i swore i’d never take anyone there again
C
to this nation
C D G
a nation under your command
