Drinking Down Our Pay

capo 2

Verse 1
E
Roll out of bed on a Monday morning
Already the boss is calling
Slept in a little too late
I reckon last night was a big 
mistake
A
I'm dry as a chip, my head aches
                                E
I know it's gonna be a long five 
days

Verse 2
E
We'll be mustering cattle for most 
of the day
Cleaning out trophs and feeding out 
hay
Fix a gate on the boundary fence
Then it's back to the yards to brand
 and drench
A
Got a sale on Wednesday morn
Load 'em up at the crack of dawn
E
Long days and not much pay
But you earn your beer so you can't 
complain
C
Waitin' for Friday to come
D
See the boss, grab the cheque and 
run
C
We work for board, we work for our 
keep
D
And we work for our turps at the end
 of the week

Chorus
E
We gotta 95k trip into town
         D

Verse 3
E

Brush our teeth and get some grub
Today gonna go for a drive
The rugby's on in Narrabri
A
Go along, cheer on the boys
Us girls are gonna make some noise
E
Got a slab in the eski too
We're all set till the game is 
through

Gotta get back into town

Fill 'er up and the foot goes down
