Industrial Strength Tranquilizers

A  E  B7


[Verse 1]
E                           
Every morning when I punch my 
  A
timecard at the plant
  E                           
I try to be a pleasant guy but 
 F#7           B7
lately I just can't.
E                          A     
Overwork and under pay are 
       E
poisoning my mind.
  E                                
Until I'm on the bar stool I don't 
   B7               E
believe it's quitin time.


[Chorus]
         A
I need industrial strength 
tranquilizer
  E
A shot of Old Crow and a glass of 
Budweiser
   E              F#7        
To help survive inflation with 
          B7
falling pay.
           A
It takes industrial strength 
tranquilizer
  E
A shot of Old Crow and a glass of 
Budweiser
   E                B7            
To help the working man through 
          E
the working day.


[Verse 2]
E                                
Bosses in the board room talk of 
A         E
productivity

    E                              
But they just mean to put the 
     F#7                 B7
screws to working stiffs like me.
E                                 
If we're good and work real hard 
   A              E
and save our pay until
      E                          
We're able to afford the kind of 
B7                E
crap they make us build.

   E              F#7

          B7
falling pay.
           A

tranquilizer
  E

   E                B7            
To help the working man through 
          E     B7
the working day.

[Verse 3]
E                           
There's a lot of wisdom here, 
   A               E
amongst the employees
E                           F#7  
Some of us are street smart some 
       B7
have PhD's.
E                                 
We're all bored and tired, but 
   A                 E
we've all found ways to cope.
E                                
Some of us drink after work, the 
B7               E
rest of us smoke dope.
