Intro: Em   A 

 
          A 
Put on my hat, put on my coat 
A 
Go out back and feed my goat 
C                                        A 
Nothing but a box of hot donuts on my mind 
         A 
Go to my car, I check my tires 
        A 
Fill my pocket with my favorite set of pliers 
           C                              A 
I got some nuts to crack, hope they ain't mine 


 
F                       C 
Got to be the first one up in the morning 
G 
  You got to catch 'em while they're still in bed 
    F                      C 
You got to be quick, don't give 'em any warning 
    G                                     E 
You got a better chance of not winding up dead 


 
          A 
There's a place I, I got to go by 
        A 
See the woman with the monkey with the glass eye 
C                                      A 
Maybe get a tip on an old friend of mine 
            A 
His time is up, today's the day 
    A 
The monkey said it's time for him to pay 
C                                              A 
Everybody knows you gotta do what the monkey say 


 
F                       C 
Got to be the first one up in the morning 
G 
  You got to catch 'em while they're still in bed 
    F                      C 
You got to be quick, don't give 'em any warning 
    G                                     E 
You got a better chance of not winding up dead 


Solo: 
D     Bm Bb 
G     E7 


 
           A 
The day is done, my taps are run 
  A 
A nothing but another like the other one 
  C 
A couple of tokes 
                           A 
And a cold one and I'll be fine 



F                       C 
Got to be the first one up in the morning 
G 
  You got to catch 'em while they're still in bed 
    F                      C 
You got to be quick, don't give 'em any warning 
    G 
You got a better chance of not winding up dead 


Outro: 
F      C  G

F  C  G  E
