[Verse 1]
     F
This back-breakin', bone-shakin', 
belly-achin', hard-workin'
C
Two more hours to go
          Bb
Yes, it's keepin' me alive, doin' 
nine to five
      G                    C
And I ain't got nothin' to show
       F
Pretty soon I'll be leavin' with the
 wages I'm receivin'
       C
But I know it's gonna be all right
Bb                 Dm
Come on, babe, and take me away
             G       Bb/C    F
We got some money to spend tonight

[Chorus]
C                         C C#m Dm
Pick me up at the station
Dm             Eb
Meet me at the train
Bb                           
Have a meal and a shower and a 
               F
change of clothes
C                        C C#m Dm
I can't afford a vacation
Dm                  Eb
But I can take the strain
Bb           G/B
Long as I can be with you
C  N.C.
Find a way to burn it as quickly as 
I earn it

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
         F
And it's back-breakin', 
bone-shakin', belly-achin', 
hard-workin'
C
Two more hours to go
Bb
Seven long years for the same 
corporation
       G                    C
And I ain't got nothin' to show
F
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be
 just breakin' even
      C
But I know it's gonna be all right
   Bb                         Dm
I shake off my blues when you put on
 your shoes
             G       Bb/C    F
We got some money to spend tonight

[Intro]

[Bridge]
G
I don't want to stand here and sound
 accusin'
F    N.C.
Everybody does their share of losin'
C/G                     G           
              C     N.C.
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well
 be doin' it right
