4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5
Up in the morning, out on the job
-5 6 6 6 -6-6 -6 -6 6
And work like the devil for my pay,
6 6 7 7 7 4
While that lucky old sun
4 6 6 6 4
has nothing to do
-4 5 5 5 -4 4 -4 4
But roll around heaven all day.
4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5
Toil for my woman, toil for my kids
-5 6 6 6 -6 -6 -6 6
And work til I'm wrinkled and gray;
6 6 7 7 7 4 4 6 6 6 4
And that lucky old sun has nothing to do
-4 5 5 5 -4 4 -4 4
But roll around heaven all day.
6 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6 5
Dear Lord above don't you know I'm pining,
4 4 -4 6 5
Tears all in my eyes.
6 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6 5
Send down my cloud with the silver lining,
6 6 6 7 7 -8
Lift me to Paradise.
4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5
Show me that river, take me across,
6 6 6 -6 -6 -6 6
Wash all my troubles away;
6 6 6 7 7 7 4
And like that lucky old sun
4 4 6 6 6 7
Give me nothing to do
-6 6 -6 7 7 -6 -8 7
But roll around heaven all day.
