        D. W. Washburn
         B7                   E7
        I heard a sweet voice say
         A     F#7
        D. W. Washburn
         B7                E7
        This is your lucky day
           D                   A
        A hot bowl of soup is waiting
           D          A/C#        B7     E7   [2: to coda]
        A hot bowl of soup and a shave
        A     F#7

        B7        E7      A
        We picked you to save

Bridge A:

         E7
        Can't you hear the fluegelhorn,
         A
        Can't you hear the bell?
         E7
        Even you can be reborn
             A               A7
        You naughty neer-do-well
                D                    A
        If you don't get outta that gutter
           D       A/C#      B7   E7
        Before the next big rain
        A     F#7
        D. W. Washburn
                      B7         E7        A
        You're gonna wash right down the drain

Bridge B:

        C#7       [N.C.]
        Up!  Up!  C'mon, get up!
        F#m
        Get up off your street
           B7
        If you can only make it from your hands to your knees
           E7                           E+
        I know you can make it to your feet

Verse 2:

        D. W. Washburn
        I said to myself
        D. W. Washburn
        Why don't you go save somebody else?
        Well, I got no job to go to
        I don't work and I don't get paid

Coda:

                 A        A7/C#      D      D#dim [N.C.]
        I got a bottle of wine, I'm feelin' fine
                 B7     E7      A
        And I believe I got it made
                      D                  A
        I'd like to thank alla you good people
             D    A/C#    B7   E7
        For coming to my aid
                  A     F#7
        But I'm   D. W. Washburn

                B7        E7      A          F#7
        I do believe I've got it made (D. W. Washburn)
                B7        E7      A                F#7
        I do believe I've got it made, don't need nobody
                                            (D. W. Washburn)
                B7        E7      A          F#7
