Drinking Down Our Pay

	  		 

Verse 1 
E 
Roll out of bed on a Monday morning 
Already the boss is calling 
Slept in a little too late 
I reckon last night was a big mistake 
A 
I'm dry as a chip, my head aches 
                                E 
I know it's gonna be a long five days  

Verse 2 
E 
We'll be mustering cattle for most of the day 
Cleaning out trophs and feeding out hay 
Fix a gate on the boundary fence 
Then it's back to the yards to brand and drench 
A 
Got a sale on Wednesday morn 
Load 'em up at the crack of dawn 
E 
Long days and not much pay  
But you earn your beer so you can't complain 
C 
Waitin' for Friday to come 
D 
See the boss, grab the cheque and run 
C 
We work for board, we work for our keep 
D 
And we work for our turps at the end of the week 

Chorus 
E 
We gotta 95k trip into town 
         D                               A 
We'll be cruising down the road when the sun goes down 
E                            D  A 
Couldn't be a better time of da-y 
      E 
And i know this one is gonna be a benda 
D            A 
It'll be one to remember 
C                                D 
Friday, Saturday, Sunday all the way 
                        E 
we're drinking down our pay 

Verse 3 
E 
10am wake up at the pub 
Brush our teeth and get some grub 
Today gonna go for a drive 
The rugby's on in Narrabri 
A 
Go along, cheer on the boys 
Us girls are gonna make some noise 
E 
Got a slab in the eski too 
We're all set till the game is through 
C 
Gotta get back into town 
D 
Fill 'er up and the foot goes down 
          C 
There's a party on at Spud's tonight  
         D 
So we'll do it all again till the morning light
