Verse 1:
G/C   G/B   G
Gotta get a break from all this sadness
     Am
This winter's gone bust
        C
Lickin' stamps for all these bills
             G
Before I get another paper cut
G/C    G/B    G
Time to throw out this dirty laundry
          Am
It's been piling up for years
    C
Oh, pull up your bootstraps honey
        G
Talk is cheap, pour a couple beers

Time to trade this bad news

Verse 2:
G/C      G/B   G
Tryin' to turn back these hands of time
       Am
With a scalpel and a string
       C
You'll do much better with a little duct tape
         G
For your phony wedding ring
    G/C     G/B G
And talk to old Reg if you're unsure
        Am
Of your purpose here, my dear
       C
Say, I ain't got time for your shit, you know
        G
I'll be seventy-four this year

Slap the monkey to the wood

It's time to trade this bad news for good
G                  G/C     G/B   Am
Time to trade this bad news
         G/C  G/B          Am
Grab the bull by the hood
     G/C     G/B        Am           G
It's time to trade this bad news for good

Should flip the monkey or fling some snow
