Been hanging rock for twenty-odd years now
      D MajorD           B minorBm
Six days a week and I can't keep up

A augmentedA couple hundred is all I need
    D MajorD         B minorBm
If I have to I'll hit the blood bank
     A augmentedA           E minorEm
I'm bone dry but I can always bleed

The only thing I was scared of losing
      A augmentedA       G+G
She packed up and left today
       D MajorD          B minorBm
Well I guess she got tired of waiting
     D MajorD         B minorBm
For the man she thought I'd be
       D MajorD          B minorBm

Could set me up at the Super 8

Selling pills to the red-eyed truckers
    A augmentedA         E minorEm
Coming in off the interstate
