This is my first tab, i didn't like the ones already done so here's my version:
I play the chords as barre chords but can be played as open chords, i find it easier to
barre chords to change between the riff part of the chorus and strumming the chords.
Intro:
(Dm) (C) (Bm) (Bb) (A) (G)
(E)

|-7-7--5-5--4-4--3-3----------------------|
|-5-5--3-3--2-2--1-1--7-7--5-5--3-3--2-2--|
|---------------------5-5--3-3--1-1--0-0--|
The Dmtaxman's taken Call my dough,
and Dmleft me in my sCtately home,
A G F E Dm (Play as second part of intro, i.e barre chords)
lazin' on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't Csail my yacht,
he's Dmtaken everytChing I've got.
A(Play as G2nd part ofF introE) Dm
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.
Chorus:
DSave me, save me, save me from this G7squeeze,
I've got a C7big fat mama tryin' to break Fme. A7
And I Dmlove to live so G7pleasantly,
DmLive this life of G7luxurC7y,
Flazin' on a A7sunny afterDmnoon,
(Dm) (C) (Bm) (Bb) (A) (G)
(E)
