D
I'm a Jack of all trades and a bastard son
  D
A burnt out slave and a master of none
G                                  D
A cog on a wheel in a dog and pony show
D
But if I won the lottery I'd be taken seriously
         G                                       D    G D
With the keys to the kingdom and a stock portfolio


[Chorus]
     D          A     Em               Bm
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
  D              A         Em          A
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
    D                A
The master makes the rules
        Em               Bm
And the master plays the fools
D           A          F#m       Bm
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
  A        Bm
Silent harmony


[Verse 2]
D
Look at the Jones, they ain't sad at all
     D
They love the wage, they hate us all
     G                                         D
They dance to the rhythm of a dark and distant drone
  D
I can't keep up with the Jones no more
  D
I can't make rent when I had it before
      G
Now a big wolf is at the door
            D          G D
Looking for blood from a stone


[Chorus]
     D          A     Em               Bm
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
  D               A        Em          A
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
    D                A
The master makes the rules
        Em               Bm
And the master plays the fools
D           A          F#m       Bm
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
  A        Bm
Silent harmony


[Solo]
G      Em    Bm   A

[Verse 3]
D
Should I grow old before I die
D
Just another John Doe in debt to his eyes
G                                          D
Choking on the barrel of a gun run down my throat
D
Held by the master's invisible hands
D
"More, more, more!" the master commands
G                                          D       G D
"Call in the lawyers, piss on the ants," I quote. No joke


[Chorus]
     D          A     Em               Bm
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
  D              A         Em          A
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
    D                A
The master makes the rules
        Em               Bm
And the master plays the fools
D           A          F#m       Bm
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
   A        Bm
Silent harmony
