Work Me Lord

	  		"Work Me, Lord" 

Intro: F C E E7  

F#m         Db   F#m        Db 
    Work me Lord,   work me Lord. 
E 
 Please don't you leave me, 
B                           B C Db 
 I feel so useless down here 
Db 
With no one to love                                    
F                          C 
  Though I've looked everywhere 
                               E 
And I can't find me anybody to love, 
   E7 
To feel my care.  


F#m   Db            F#m Db  
So ah  work me Lord,     whoa use me Lord, 
E 
 Don't you know how hard it is 
B                        B C Db 
  Trying to live all alone. 
Db                              F 
Every day I keep trying to move forward, 
                                 C 
But something is driving me, oh, back, 
                                        E 
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me, 
   E7 
To my way of life.  


F#m  Db  
So    don't you forget me down here, Lord, 
            F#m 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 
Db 
 Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord. 
E 
  Well I don't think I'm any very special 
    B                                 B C Db 
Kind of person down here, I know better, 
Db 
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody, 
          F                                        C 
Not anybody   who could say that they tried like I tried, 
                                E  
The worst you can say all about me 
            E7             B    A    E    B 
Is that I'm never satisfied. Whoa.

Instrumental: B A E B x3  B A E

Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm,   use me Lord, 
E 
  Please, honey, don't you leave me, 
B                            B C Db 
  I feel so useless down here. 
Db 
I can't find me anybody to love me 
                      F 
And I've looked around, 
                            C   
I've looked everywhere, everywhere 
                              E 
And I can't find me anyone to love, 
   E7 
To feel my care.  

F#m Db   
So    honey don't you go and leave me, Lord, 
            F#m 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 
                       Db 
Honey, don't you go off   and leave me, Lord. 
E 
  Can't I show you how hard it is 
B                                    B C Db 
  Trying to live when you're all alone. 
Db 
Everyday I keep pushing, 
                          F 
Keep trying to move forward 
                                 C 
But something is driving me, oh, back, 
                                     E 
And something's trying to hold on to me, 
   E7              F#m 
To my way of life, why.  

   F 
Oh please, please, oh don't you go and 
      C 
Forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord. 
                   E 
I think that maybe you can ease me, 
            E7                B 
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa, 
   F                                C 
Oh please, please, don't you go and leave me Lord, 
            E       E7      N.C 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please, 
                                                                       Am  (play and fade) 
Hmm please, don't you leave me, Lord.
