Payola - Jesse Welles | Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
B7           B7
   Well I really don't care if I ain't western as fuck
'cause I dont wear a hat and I dont drive a truck
          E7
I made everything but a living, my voice gotten used
           B7
I ain't selling my soul for a couple of views

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    A               E7
Payola for thee, Payola for playlists,
     B7
Blue checkmarks, and follows and streams

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        B7
We'll license your song, we'll give you sixten percent
We'll advance you some dough so you got money to spend
          E7
Put it all   toward promotion when she blows up big
    B7
Highfive our fat asses with our fourteen percent



[Verse 3]
---------------------
The folks in the business no older than me
That ain't never done nothing but email and drink
            E7
And the coke   in the kitchen, it ain't CocaCola
            B7
And they'll swear and declare, "Payola Payola"

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    A                           E7
Payo  la for thee, brought to you   by nepotism
       B7
And veiled in authority
    A                    E7
Payola for thee, is the Wizard of Oz
        B7
And the curtains that doremimimi

[Solo 1]
---------------------
E7 | B7 | A  | E | B7 
A  | E  | B7 

[Verse 4]
---------------------
          B7
I ain't never been viral but I've had the flu
It was hard to monitize but I made it through
             E7
And when the 'rona came and the labels went home
        B7
We went back to Starbucks; they took PPP loans

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    A                 E7
Payola for thee, Payola   for playlists,
          B7
Blue checkmarks, and follows and streams
    A                    E7
Payola for thee, is the Wizard of Oz
        B7
And the curtains that doremimi

[Verse 5]
---------------------
            B7
From the cowboy cosplay of Music City
to the L A cyborgs and New York pretties
       E7
Austin City's got no limits for DMT dreams
         B7
It's all bought and paid for, it ain't as it seems

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
    A                      E7
Payola for thee, its the vending machine
         B7
Of the musicindustry
  A                   E7
Payola for thee, is the   Wizard of Oz
           B7
And the curtains that doremi

[Solo 2]
---------------------
E7 | B7 | A | E | B7 
A  | E  
B7

[Verse 6]
---------------------
       B7
It's a shallow money trench, Thompson's correct
Sailed through an ocean of shit and you still get wrecked

[Chorus (5)]
---------------------
       A                    E7              B7
And Payo la for thee, brought   to you by nepotism
And veiled in authority
   A                  E7
Payo la for thee is the   vending machine
         B7
Of the musicindustry
A                 E7
Payola for thee, is   the Wizard of Oz
B7
And the curtains that doremi
