Intro 




verse 1 
C 
Once I was a soldier 
                        G 
I rode on a big white horse 
C 
Silver pistols at my side 
                       G 
Carryin' the flags of war 
Em                                   Bm  Em 
And I lost track of the men who fell 
                A 
In the canon's roar 
A                    D7 
I never got over bein' a soldier 

G       G       G       G 

C 
Once I was a tax man 
                          G 
Collectin' dollars and dimes 
C 
I heard the rich man grumble 
                      G 
I heard the poor man cry 
Em                               Bm Em 
Some few couldn't afford to pay 
                 Bm 
Were put to a shackle and key 
A                 D7 
I never got over bein' a tax man 

G       G       G       G 

C 
Once I was a ruler 
                      G 
About twelve inches long 
C 
Three times me made a yardstick 
G 
36 inches high 
Em                   Bm Em 
36 inches high was I 
Bm 
36 inches high 
A                 D7 
I never got over 36 inches high
