INTRO
C9  C6 (x4)  

VERSE 1
C9              D7                 
Stop the bus, I wanna be lonely
     E7                      G7
When seconds pass slowly and years go flying by
                                   D    F#7  G7
You gotta stop the bus and get off here
         E7/G#          G7
Enough's enough and I'm leaving this factory
C9               D7                     
All she wants is food on the table
    E7                 G7
And I won't be able to bring it home
                         D  F#7  G7
And all I want, come on
             E7/G#           G7        
'Cause all I need, Yeah it's free
                      D  G7  D  G7  D  G7  D  G7
'Cause I'm a factory

CHORUS
A7         G7           
Did Mother Nature tell you 
C9                           D        G7  D
"Boy, you come and go as you please?"
                E7          F7  F#7  G7
That's what she said to me
                                 A7                     D  G7  D 
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery 
C9      D  G7  D   C9    D 
Woah Woah          Woah  Woah

VERSE 2
C9               D7
Millionaires and mill rats live side by side
E7
Messed up my brother's mind
     G7                                         D7  F#7  G7
He's far from earth, tell me, what's it worth?
            E7/G#             G7
The same as you,  the same as me
                D  G7  D  G7  D  G7  D  G7
In this factory

CHORUS
A7         G7           
Did Mother Nature tell you 
C9                           D        G7  D
"Boy, you come and go as you please?"
                E7          F7  F#7  G7
That's what she said to me 
                                 A7                     D  G7  D 
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
C9   D  G7  D   C9    D 
Woah Woah       Woah  Woah

BRIDGE
     Bm       D7
It's 4 in the morning
 Gmaj7       C9             D
Mother don't know that I'm going far away
                 E7                      C9  C6 (x4)  
She's whispering to the moon, "I hope he don't join you soon"
                 D7
Baby boss climbs up on his soapbox
E7                                G7
Great Caesar's ghost knows what's best for me

He says stop the bus
