E G7 F#7 E
[Verse]
N.C E
Ain't that the way the luck goes
A7 E
Seems like it never can be found
A7
Break my back to make those bank notes
E
Payin' on an almost always broken down
F#7
Fix that car nine ways to Sunday
B7
And it won't start again when Monday rolls around
E G7 F#7 E
[Verse]
E
Ain't that the way the rent goes
A7 E
Seems like it's never goin' down
A7
And that banker's bound to foreclose
E
At this rate, I'll lose my interest in this town
F#7
Paint the walls mend the windows
B7 E E7
'Bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground
[Chorus]
A7 E
I've been footin' the bill for some time
A7 E
Stretchin' my credit out of line
A7 Bbdim E7 C#7
Well I may not get ahead but now I won't be far behind
F#7 B7 E
I've got one more payment and it's mine
We're gonna swing it
[Solo]
A7 E A7 E A7 Bbdim E7 C#7 F#7 B7 E
[Verse]
N.C. E
Ain't that the way the heart goes
A7 E
Seems they just attack without a sign
A7
My mind's been on vacation
E
And my body's been workin' overtime
F#7
But I've done all that I can do
B7 E E7
There's just one more balance due before it's mine
[Chorus]
A7 E
I've been footin' the bill for some time
A7 E
Step by step and line by dotted line
A7 Bbdim
Well I haven't bought the farm yet
E7 C#7
But I'm not that far behind
F#7 B7 E
I've got one more payment and it's mine
E G7 F#7 E G7 F#7 E
One more payment and it's mine
E G7 F#7 E
One more payment and it's mine
G7
One more
F#7
One more
E
One more
