[Intro]
| N.C.   | N.C.   | N.C.   | N.C.   |
| E      | E      | E      | E      |


[Verse 1]
E                     E
Whether she's rich or toiling in a ditch
   E                       B7
No matter the color of her collar
    A                            E
The heart of your home works her fingers to the bone
    B7               E
For 79 cents to your dollar


[Chorus 1]
E         E         E     B7
79 cents, 79 cents, woah, oh
A             E
Hey hey, it’s alright, it's okay
     B7               E
It's 79 cents to your dollar


[Verse 2]
            E                 E
But if her skin is brown, her pay goes down
       E                         B7
It’s a nickel to the white man's dime
    A                         E
But don't complain or they'll call you insane
B7                        E
People call me "left-wing swine"


[Chorus 2]
E                E                E     B7
Left-wing swine, left-wing swine, woah, oh
A             E
Hey hey, it’s alright, it's okay
      B7                       E
Where people call me left-wing swine


[Verse 3]
    E             E
And don't forget, Mama gets less
         E               B7
It's the motherhood penalty
       A                       E
With a baby on her hip, office phone against her lip
      B7                 E
For a raise she’ll never see


[Chorus 3]
       E                 E          E     B7
She’ll never see, she'll never see, woah, oh
A             E
Hey hey, it’s alright, it's okay
       B7                 E
It's a raise she'll never see


[Verse 4]
 E                       E
"Love it or leave it" ad nauseam is repeated
     E              B7
With fevered regurgitation
   A                                   E
It means "Bend over and take it if you don’t like it fake it
        B7                   E
For the sake of the male population"


[Chorus 4]
        E                    E                E     B7
For the male population, the male population, woah, oh
A             E
Hey hey, it’s alright, it's okay
         B7                 E
It's the great the male population


[Verse 5]
   E                            E
So ladies, think twice if Uncle Sam seems nice
    E                      B7
You say he doesn't mean it now
    A               E
But Mr. Status Quo, oh, don't you know
     B7                        E
He's grabbing us right in the "meow"


[Chorus 5]
E                    E                    E     B7
Right in the "meow", right in the "meow", woah, oh
A             E
Hey hey, it’s alright, it's okay
     B7                        E
He's grabbing us right in the "meow"
