"Taxman" is a song by The Beatles, opening the Revolver album, about high levels of progressive tax taken by the government. George Harrison, who wrote the lyrics, performs the role of a tax collector on the song in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

TAXMAN

1,2,3,4,1,2

Let me tell you how it will be,
Theres one for you, nineteen for me,
Cos Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I dont take it all.
Cos Im the Taxman,
Yeah yeah, Im the Taxman.

(If you drive a car car), Ill tax the street,
(If you try to sit sit), Ill tax your seat,
(If you get too cold cold), Ill tax the heat,
(If you take a walk walk), Ill tax your feet.
Taxman.

Cos Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
Dont ask me what I want it for
(Ah Ah! Mister Wilson!)
If you dont want to pay some more
(Ah Ah! Mister Heath!),
Cos Im the Taxman,
Yeeeah, Im the Taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!)
Cos Im the Taxman,
Yeah, Im the Taxman.
And youre working for no-one but me,
(Taxman).

  • @StrongestGod ugly? its fucking cool

  • @StrongestGod Most fucking beautiful bass around!

    To Paulbass19: good job, apart from some points but that's just practice.

  • @paulbass19 Not in all the song, but on this song he does, yes. I ask 'cause I use the nail and not the pick, the sound is different (the guitarist of the Doors used sometime the nail, but never a pick).

  • @StrongestGod is not ugly. it's paul bass

  • @StrongestGod what are u crazy its a pretty bass, that not the tipically ugly bass with 4 or 5 strings and was and is used by paul.

  • @paulbass19 ermmm no lie, but that is by far the BEST bass guitar I have ever seen :) keeping it in the McCartney spirit, I like it :D where did you get it and how much did it cost?
