• Capo on 4th
• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse:
     A
I worked Saturdays at the satisfactory factory
                 Bm
After ne there'd be shift change over
        E
I'd quit being sober

        D
I'd watch the planes fly over

Think about folks I knew
         A  A
I used to know a few

Verse:
   A
I'd call up the numbers

Say what's up brother today is another day
      Bm Em E
Say what's new

     D
Talkin' talk

Walk in circles
      A
Around the block


Chorus:
 E               D      A
Smack dab in the middle of the lower forty eight
      E
How could this be any slower
    D        A
Than to go to hell and wait

  Dbm
Decatur
       D   A
I'll see you later

 Bm
Pulverized
   E
Beat down by the mundane

 Bm
Paralyzed
     E7
Going insane

Well


Post-Chorus:
   A
The saddest factory's still
 D
Satisfactory still
       Bm
Gotta make a living

They ain't giving 'em out

         D
Not if I want my pride
         Dbm Bm
I'd just as soon die
     A
Than be lazy

Smack dab in the middle of the lower forty eight

Than to go to hell and wait

Verse:
    A
I quit Saturdays at the satisfactory factory
                Bm
After me there'd be plenty of time
          E
Since I's off the line

   D
Oh I drank like a river

Pickled my liver

Watch takers and givers
          A   A
Shiver in the cold light

A
I ain't blaming nobody for nothing
                 A
But I got something I can't stay
E          E
I gotta cary it away

       D
I'd ring the numbers

Call 'em up

No one'd pick up

           A  A
I guess we talked enough


Chorus:
 E               D      A
Smack dab in the middle of the lower forty eight
      E
How could this be any slower
    D        A
Than to go to hell and wait

       D   A
I'll see you later

Than be lazy


Chorus:
 E               D      A
Smack dab in the middle of the lower forty eight
      E
How could this be any different

Than to go to hell and wait
