intro: FF C majorC E MajorE E7E7

F# minorF#m     DbDb  F# minorF#m    DbDb
  Work me Lord,  work me Lord.
E MajorE
 Please don't you leave me,
BB              BB C majorC DbDb
 I feel so useless down here
DbDb
With no one to love
FF             C majorC
 Though I've looked everywhere
                E MajorE
And I can't find me anybody to love,
  E7E7
To feel my care.

F# minorF#m  DbDb      F# minorF#m DbDb
So ah work me Lord,   whoa use me Lord,
E MajorE
 Don't you know how hard it is
BB            BB C majorC DbDb
 Trying to live all alone.
DbDb               FF
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
                 C majorC
But something is driving me, oh, back,
                    E MajorE
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me,
  E7E7
To my way of life.


F# minorF#m DbDb
So  don't you forget me down here, Lord,
      F# minorF#m
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
DbDb
 Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord.
E MajorE
 Well I don't think I'm any very special
  BB                 BB C majorC DbDb
Kind of person down here, I know better,
DbDb
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
     FF                    C majorC
Not anybody  who could say that they tried like I tried,
                E MajorE
The worst you can say all about me
      E7E7       BB  A augmentedA  E MajorE  BB
Is that I'm never satisfied. Whoa.
