F 
It's 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 you know it's gonna be all right 
Bb                 Dm 
Come on, babe, and take me away 
            Gm       C         F 
We got some money to spend the night 


C                         C C/C# 
Pick me up at the station 
Dm             Eb 
Meet me at the train 
Bb                                       F Bb/F F Bb/F F 
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes 
C                        C C/C# 
I can't afford a vacation 
Dm                 Eb 
But I can take the strain 
Bb               G/B 
As long as I can be with you 
C (implied) 
I'll find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it 


Yes, it's back-breakin' bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin' 
Two more hours to go 
Seven long years for the same corporation 
and I ain't got nothin' to show 
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even 
but I know it's gonna be all right 
I'll shake off my blues when you put on your shoes 
We got some money to spend the night 

Intro, slightly modified guitar part 

G 
I don't want to stand here and sound accusin' 
F (implied) 
Everybody does their share of losin' 
C                      F                         C     Piano run 
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right 

Guitar solo over verse chords 

Chorus 
Pick me up at the station 
Meet me at the train 
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes 
I can't afford a vacation 
But I can take the strain 
Long as I can be with you 
I'll find away to burn it as quickly as I earn it 

Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin' 
Two more hours to go 
Yes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five 
and I ain't got nothin' to show 
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even 
but I know it's gonna be all right 
Come on babe, and take me away 
We got some money to spend the night 

Slowly 
Bb 
Come on babe 
Dm 
Take me away 
G                       Bb             F (minor pentatonic run) 
We've got some money to spend the night
