by George Harrison (Beatles)
F C7 F C
Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt
F C7 Dm G
And for all the little pigies life is getting worse
Dm7 G7 C7 Bb Cdim C
Always having dirt to play around in
F C7 F C
Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts
F C7 Dm G
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt
Dm7 G7 C7 Bb Cdim C
Always have clean shirts to play around in
Gm A7
BRIDGE: In their styes with all their backing
Bb C
They don't care what goes on around
Gm A7
In their eyes there's something lacking
Bb C
what they need's a damn good whacking
F C7 F C
Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives
F C7 Dm G
You can see them out for dinner with their piggy wives
Dm7 G7 C7 Bb Cdim C
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

Знаете ли вы, что...
- From White Album (1968). George's mother suggested the "damn fine whacking" line. Charles Manson bizarrely cited this song.
