Diplomat Chords & Lyrics by Swimming With Dolphins
Diplomat
guitar chords lyrics
My first tab! I was looking for chords and couldn't find them anywhere so I tried
playing a few and they seemed to work! This is completely by ear so it's probably not 100%
correct, but it sounds right when I play it. Enjoy!
No Capo, standard tuning (EADGBe).

Live to work, work to live

No time left to spend or give

Walking like a bureaucrat

Firm handshakes, quick replies

Push the product, sell the crop

But what if it's not meant for me?

My head is stuck inside the clouds

I couldn't find myself in these
