Remember to play this one with your thumb, index and middle fingers all the way through to accentuate the bass notes.
I can be a little tricky to sing at first, because it feels so off-beat, but eventually you'll get the hang of it.
Lyrics:
Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Fingers to the bone
Pay your dues, and your debts
Pay your respects, everybody tells you
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doin'
Has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you
I've lost mine
Words, words, words, have you heard
A bird in hand is much better than,
Any number free to wander
Fly away... Stay
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Is she really all she says...
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you
I'm OK I'm OK (I'm OK)
Surprise, surprise
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Has she really lost her...
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you
I'm OK I'm OK I'm OK (How are you?)
Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get...oh...
Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get oh...
Oh...
Behold! The great northern viking's pinnacle of evolution! Behold my wavy blonde locks, my icy blue eyes and my muscular physique! Behold my.. screw this, I'm going to McDonald's.

I can't attest to the accuracy of this tab, as I haven't tried to learn this song. I can say it's hard, almost all DMB stuff is. But, for future reference, the most accurate tabs for every DMB song are at http://www.dmbtabs.com Honestly, I've not once seen a bad tab there.

Actually, Pay For.. is one of Dave's easiest songs. But you right about DMBtabs, they've got everything pretty much nailed down. Still, I thought people here would like to learn it.

No, I wasn't trying to say anything about your tabbing. I just posted about dmbtabs so more people would know about it. And, I must disagree, Proudest Monkey is the easiest dmb song....

My spacing is a little off, but I did that freehand from memory
