(G)I been thinking lately about the (C)people I (G)meet

The (C)carwash on the (G)corner and the (D)hole in the street

The (G)way my ankles hurt with (C)shoes on my feet

And I'm (G)wondering if I'm (D)gonna see tom(G)orrow

(Chorus)

(G)Father forgive us for (C)what we must (G)do

(C)You forgive (G)us we'll (D)forget you

(G)I was in the army but I (C)never dug a (G)trench

(C)I used to bust my (G)knuckles on a (D)monkey wrench

Then I'd (G)go to town and drink and (C)give the girls a pinch

But I (G)don't think they (D)ever even (G)noticed me

(Repeat chorus)

(D)Fish and whistle

Whistle and fish

(G)Eat every thing that they put on your dish

And (C)when we get through we'll (G)make a big wish

That we (A7)never have to do this (D7)again

Again? Again???

(G)On my very first job I said (C)"thank you" and (G)"please"

They (C)made me scrub a (G)parking lot (D)down on my knees

(G)Then I got fired for (C)being scared of bees

And they (G)only give me (D)fifty cents and (G)hour
