Corporate Country (My Chewing Gum Has 4 Wrappers) Gary Carter - modified 14/4/14 This song is about the executive City life and the contrast of Farm life Each alternate verse is City v. Country I wrote this song after being retrenched after 16 years in Banking and Finance and then spending many weeks on my mates Beef ranch on the Queensland border. The song was written on an iPhone of the trip back to Sydney from Pumpenbil, Northern NSW

^DConnecting with the ^Fsalt of the earth ^GGet back to the ^Amcountry

^AmMonthly reports, ^Cmaj7I made ‘em up ^GPerformance reviews mean ^Emnothin’

^AmThe butcher bird, ^Cmaj7the cockatoo ^GThe eagle flys ^Emmagestic

^AmBar charts, useless ^Cmaj7farts ^GMake work of their ^Emduties

^DStraining fences, diesel ^Fexpenses ^GParramatta Grass, scratching ^Amyou’re arse

^DConnecting with the ^Fsalt of the earth ^GGet back to the ^Amcountry

^AmWake at five, do the corporate ^Cmaj7jive ^G1,000’s of signs^Em ‘n parking cars

^AmPloughing earth, watching ^Cmaj7cattle girth ^GThe price of a pound, you ^Emshout a round
