[Verse 1]
F C This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin', two more hours to go Bb G C Yes, it's keepin' me alive, doin' nine to five and I ain't got nothin' to show F C Pretty soon I'll be leavin' with the wages I'm receivin', but I know it's gonna be all right Bb Dm G Bb/C F Come on babe and take me away, we got some money to spend tonight
[Chorus]
C C C#m Dm Eb Pick me up at the station......meet me at the train Bb F Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes C C C#m Dm Eb I can't afford a vacation......but I can take the strain Bb G/B C Long as I can be with you, find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
[Verse 2]
F C And its back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin', two more hours to go Bb G C Seven long years for the same corporation and I ain't got nothin' to show F C And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even, but I know it's gonna be all right Bb Dm G Bb/C F I shake off my blues when you put on your shoes, we got some money to spend tonight
