[Intro] E [Chorus 1]
E                       C#m

                E     C#m
Working on the chain gang

                B     E
Working on the chain gang
[Verse 1]
E                  C#m
All day long they work so hard

         F#m           B
Till the sun is goin' down

E               C#m
Working on the highways and byways

     F#m                B
And wearin', wearin' a frown

E                        C#m
Hear them moanin' their lives away

F#m             B
Then you hear somebody say
[Chorus 1]

He don't love you, like I love you

E     C#m             F#m         B
If he did he wouldn't break your heart

E         C#m       A     F#m
He don't love you, like I love you

E      C#m          B     E
He's trying to tear us apart

       G
Gonna find her, I'm gonna find her

           G          D
I'm gonna find her

    G
Oh, if I have to climb a mountain

G
You know I will

    G
And if I have to swim a river

     G
You know I will and I might find her hidin'
Up on Blueberry Hill [Pre-Chorus]
     G*
How am I gonna find her, child

     G*
You know I will
[Chorus 3]
                 C
Cause I'm goin' searchin'

            C           G
I'm goin' searchin' searchin' everywhere

                D                C  G
Just like some Northwest Mountie
