The Rolling Stones - When the Whip Comes Down: chords

       A
Yeah, momma and poppa told me
       D
I was crazy to stay
       A
I was gay in New York
            D
Which is a fag in L.A.
   A
So I saved my money
    D
And I took a plane
     A               D
Wherever I go they treat me the same

Chorus:
               A            D
    When the whip comes down
               A            D
    When the whip comes down
               A            D
    When the whip comes down
               A            D A D A D
    When the whip comes down

Verse:
I'm going down fifty-third street
And they're spitting in my face
I'm learning the ropes
Yeah I'm learning a trade
The east river truckers
Is churning with trash
I've got so much money
That I'm spending so fast

Chorus:
    When the whip comes down
    When the whip comes down
    When the whip comes down
    When the whip comes down
               A
    When the shit hits the fan
             D
    I'll be sitting on the can
    When the whip comes down

Yeah, some called me garbage
While I was sleeping on the street
I never roll
And I never cheat
I'm filling a need
I'm plugging a hole
My mama's so glad
I ain't on the dole

Chorus:
    When the whip comes down
    When the whip comes down
    When the shit hits the fan
    I'm sitting on the can
    When the whip comes down
                            G D G D G D
    When the whip comes down
