Verse:

G+G
We all go on a two month tour
D MajorD             G+G
Nearly work ourselves sick
   C majorC
Now we don't know were all the money goes
    G+G     D MajorD     G+G

I think the fat men in New York and L.A.

Are givin' us the old run around
G+G
You bring fifty thousand home and he says your overdrawn

It'll just about get you down
FF     C majorC     D MajorD
Just about get you down

Chorus:

    C majorC        G+G    C majorC
But we keep on pickin'(Keep on pickin')
         G+G
And we keep on singin'(Keep on singin')

And we try and try to get high so we can keep on grinin'

Oh you wish you had a home and someone of your own

Then cry over the girl you really wanted in your world
