Jerry was a clerk Andy Shauf Capo 2 [Verse]

^A#Me and a couple ^Ffriends, we had a big i^Emdea ^EmAbout getting ^Cmoney and getting out of ^Amhere ^AmWe were wide-^Emeyed dreamers of ^Cwealth

^A#We were getting ^Ftired of killing ^Emtime ^EmFilling up our ^Cheads with cheap ^Amwine ^AmJerry had a van so we ^Emcould make our ^Cescape

[Chorus]

^CHe would say, ‘^Amboys our time has ^Fcome ^FTo live among the ^Emprivileged ones’

[Interlude] C Am C Am [Verse]

^A#Now it was Jerry’s ^Fplan but we all ^Emagreed ^EmSkip town and ^Csplit the money up ^Amevenly ^AmLay low ’til the ^Emwinter rolled ^Cin

^A#He said ‘I know an old ^Ffarmer doesn't trust the ^Embank ^EmKeeps his money buried ^Cout behind his water ^Amtank ^AmHe told me once when ^Emhe was out of his ^Cmind’

[Chorus]

^C‘Oh, ^Amboys our time has ^Fcome ^FTo live among the privileged ^Emones’

[Verse]

^A#Now Jerry had a ^Fgirl, the only one of ^Emus ^EmTo ever have one ^Clast and so no questions ^Amasked ^AmShe’d be the ^Emfourth one ^Cinvolved

^A#Her name was Mary-^FAnne and she was nice ^Emenough ^EmAlways a cashier, ^Conly once in ^Amlove ^AmWith Jerry - the ^Emdreamer and the ^Cclerk

[Chorus]

^CWho said ‘^AmBoys our time has ^Fcome ^FTo live among the ^Emprivileged ones’

[Verse]

^A#So on that Friday ^Fnight on which we all ^Emagreed ^EmWe took our ^Cshovels and crept out ^Amcarefully ^AmThrough the ^Emfarmyard darker than ^Csin

^A#The plan went ^Foff without a ^Emhitch ^Em’Til we passed the chicken ^Ccoop and Mary ^Amtripped ^AmTurned the ^Emhens to sirens in the ^Cnight

[Chorus]

^A#And when the f^Amarmhouse lights turned ^Fon ^FA warning shot rang out ^Eminto the dawn

[Bridge]

^CAnd we ran like ^Amhell for Jerry’s ^Cvan But ^Amwhen we arrived we were only ^Cthree And while J^Amerry’s greed fed gas to the ^Cengine His ^Amwords showed us a coward we’d never ^Cseen

[Chorus]

^CAs he said ‘^AmBoys our time has ^Fcome ^FWe're gonna save ourselves and live among the ^Emprivileged ones'
