[Verse]

E                       B7
Hey you with the guitar.
              A7             E A7 E
Where did you play last night?
                                  B7
I do believe it was in Memphis,
            A7              E A7 E
but I can't remember right now.
                              B7
'Cause I been foul politicin'
       A7            E  A7 E
and I acted in fear to be.
                                  B7
I had to get up five this morning
     A7                         E A7 E
with them bells playing in my head.


[Chorus]

            A
Sometimes I work so hard,
                                 E
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone.
               G7   D7
Well, I can boogie, boogie,
  A7         B7#9     E
boogie on my way back home.


[Verse 2]

                E
Well, I've been workin' every night
        B                    E
for the pastes buy meats and needs.

I'm gonna finish up tomorrow night
    B                        E
and turn myself a plane back east.

I'm gonna do my work
         B                E
so I can help my pain and rest.
              G              A       B
Well, I'll be back here someday soon
                   E
hope I can give my best.


[Chorus 2]

            A
Sometimes I work so hard,
                                 E
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone.
               G7   D7
Well, I can boogie, boogie,
  A7         B7#9     E
boogie on my way back home.

Yeah.

[Verse 3]

         E
Well, my axe is gettin' rusty
       B                        e
and an old slow demon I seem to be.

The throat is gettin' dusty,
            B                       E
before it's gone that I had thrifty hands.

Well, I've been up for heart breakin'
       B                    E
and I had to keep my men to pay.
         G                  A
I had to catch a plane this morning
          B               E
with them bells ringing in my head.


[Chorus 3]

            A
Sometimes I work so hard,
                                 E
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone.
               G7   D7
Well, I can boogie, boogie,
  A7         B7#9     E
boogie on my way back home. Yeah.
                        G7   D7
Said I learned to boogie, boogie,
  A7         B7#9     E
boogie on my way back home.
            G7    D7
I can boogie, boogie,
  A7         B7#9     E
boogie on my way back home.
