Nine More Gallons

D  A  E  A

[Verse]
           A              E
I work all day to pay the rent
                   D               
Before the money's earned, well 
           A
it's all been allocated
      F#m           D            
I got nothin' on my plate, but I 
A                E
wish that I were fat
D         A                E    
Nine more gallons and I'll have 
     A
me a hat

        A                  E
Workin' nights, I'm always tired
Continues after the ad
          D                   A
I hope my boss doesn't get me laid 
off
     F#m             D           
It's hard to pull an empty load 
A             E
even if you're stuck
D              A               E
Seventeen more wheels and I'll 
         A
have me a truck

[Chorus]
D                A     D        
Two more times a lady, three 
          Bm
more hundred blows
D              A       B7       
Four more easy pieces, five more
             E
 days on the road
D                 A         D   
Seven more days a week now, 
               A
eight more lives a cat
D         A                E    
Nine more gallons and I'll have 
     A
me a hat

[Verse]
        A                   E
Workin' weekends to pay the bills
         D                   
I wish I lived someplace like 
         A
Beverly Sills
    F#m              D         A 
I'd love to have her autograph 
                  E
right here on these checks
D              A                 
Fifty-one more cards and I'll be 
E                   A
playin' with a full deck
