Oney

G#
intro, spoken:
I dedicate this song to the workin' 
man
For ever' man that puts in a hard
Eight or ten hours a day of work and
 toil and sweat
Always got somebody lookin' down his
 neck
Tryin' to get more out of 'im
Than he really ought to have to put 
in.

 G#
After twenty nine long years

of workin' in this shop
                        A#7
with Oney standing over me
D#7
Today when that old whistle blows,
I'll check in all my gear, and I'll 
   G#
retire.
 G#
The superintendant just stopped by
and said they planned my little 
      A#7
get-together
D#7
and then he said I'd never have made
 it
if old Oney hadn't of held me to the
 G#
 fire

 G#
I've seen him in my dreams at night
and woke up in the morning feeling 
 A#7
tired.
          D#7
And old Oney don't remember, when i 
came here,
                         G#
how he tried to get me fired...
 G#
With his folded hands behind him,
every morning, Oney waited at the 
 A#7
gate...
           D#7
where he'd rant and rave like i 
committed murder
                          G#
clockin' in five minutes late.

A#
But today they'll gather 'round me
like I've seen 'em do when any man 
 B#7
retires,
         F7
and old Oney's gonna tell me,
from now on, I'm free to do what i 
 A#
desire.
A#
He'll present me with that little 
old gold watch
                             B#7
they give a man a times like this,
            F7
but there's one thing he's not 
countin' on...
                                A#
today's the day i give old Oney his!
 hahahahaha!

C#
I've been workin' buildin' muscles,
Oney's just been standin' 'round, 
            A#7
and gettin' soft,
     G#7
and today about 4:30, I'll make up 
for every
                         C#
good night's sleep I've lost...
 C#
When I'm gone, I'll be remembered
as the workin' man that put his 
      A#7
point across...
       G#7
With a right hand full of knuckles,

today's the day I show old Oney
          C#
who's the boss!
