This work is hard, it comes straight from our hearts

Verse:

Drop your shovel, when the sun goes down
    Ab    Bb  Cm
And bring the crop

Back to town and don't you dare to slow down

Something lurks in the nightly bog
   Ab        Bb       Cm        N.C.               Cm
It traps you with its voice and drags you into the fog

Take a look at the clock, this is where we belong
