The Work

                          G
Try to be perfect but I'm not
                                       Em
In this line of work that's all you've got to be
                        C       G
So many details that we need to oversee
                             C     G
Climbing and then descending rapidly

[Chorus]
       C                  G
Oh the work, it's just so hard
                C              G
I heard someone say, "Do or do not"
            C    G
There is no try
             D7
People could die

[Verse]
G                           Em
Hey boy, we got ourselves a situation
                          C          D
Without the money and the paid vacation
                        G
Ain't no way you can survive
G                                    Em
Hey boy, you take this ticket to the station
                                  C      D
Cut off your friends and all your family relations
                        G
You might make it out alive

[Interlude]

G Em C G C D

[Chorus]
       C                  G
Oh the work, it's just so hard
                C              G
I heard someone say, "Do or do not"
            C    G
There is no try
             D  D7
People could die

[Verse]
G                           Em
Hey boy, we got ourselves a situation
                          C          D
Without the money and the paid vacation
                        G
Ain't no way you can survive
G                                    Em
Hey boy, you take this ticket to the station
                                  C      D
Cut off your friends and all your family relations
                        G
You might make it out alive

[Chorus] (Strum down in doubles repeatedly for the rest of the song.)
G
Oh the work, it's just so hard
