F                                             G
For twenty-two days I’ve stood in the welfare line

    C7                                 F
Without an education a job was hard to find

 			    C7                F
And up in front of me were ten thousand plus nine

                         F            G               F
And I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime

F                                   G
I tried to sell some pencils on the street

    C7                             F
But found my luck to sell was just weak

			C7                F
I’m ashamed to have to pretend that I am blind

                         F            G               F    C7
But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime

         G 						  F
Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s, I owe everybody in town

     D                                 D7         G
Everyday I say I’m getting on up put I keep going down
And I’ve signed every paper in town that I could sign But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime Well the internal revenue department is having fits They claim I underpaid them by six pence If I wound up in court I’ll serve out ninety-nine Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime Yes I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime by: José Duarte [email protected]
