E Well, they told me to come on over A I made my way to New York E And they tried to have me deported Stop me from getting work A Blacklisted me all over E They were vicious and they were mean B A They were big-time operators E Baby, on the music business scene Oh, they looked like politicians But underneath they were thugs And they spread malicious rumours Threatened to have me busted for drugs They had nothing on me Oh man, I was really clean But they were big-time operators On the music business scene They put a bug in my apartment To listen in on my calls I was looking for some motivation I couldn't find any, any motivation at all They were very desperate people Riding in long black limousines But they were big-time operators On the music business scene They were glorified by the media They were heroes who had names They said that they would bury me If I didn't play their game They said I didn't know the score And that I was young and green They were big-time operators On the music business scene Tried to hold me to a phony contract I said I didn't agree Had to get out of the clutches Had to go underground you see Now I'm living in another country But I know exactly just where I've been Stay away from big-time operators Baby, on the music business scene Well baby, big-time operators On the music business scene Oh baby, big-time operators On the music business scene Well, full of names and places Baby, you know who I mean You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
