Intro chord: AAG
A farmer on a tractor plowing in the field
A
Doing all he can to increase the yield
DGA (intro riff)
But the more he raises, the more the price goes down
AG
Over at the factory working on the line
A
You do a good job and never fall behind
DGA
So your quota goes up everytime you turn around
EDA
It ain't nothin' new, it's called a Catch 22
DGDG
Heads they win, tails you lose
A
It's all the same either way you choose
DGDE
You're damned if you don't, and even if you do
A (intro riff twice)
It's still a Catch 22
AG
Tell a man you love him he starts backing up
A
Tell him you don't and he's a love-sick pup
DGA
You try to get together, and watch it fall apart
EDA
Hey I've been there too, what a Catch 22
CHORUS
Instrumental: ADE
CHORUS
A (intro riff repeats)
Oh, it's a Catch 22
A
No matter what you do, it's a Catch 22
