Weekend Song

(C major chord played rhythmically beneath lead guitar for intro)

     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

C                         C C#m Dm
Pick me up at the station
Dm             Eb
Meet me at the train
Bb                                          F
Have a meal and a shower and a 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

         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

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
