[Verse 1]
Bb
   Another Friday night,
                 Bb
Guess I’ll put a clean shirt on
    Cm
And hitch a ride to town.
Eb               Bb
No more work for two whole days,
        Cm                F
There’s no point hanging 'round.
Bb
   Working on the road,
  Bb
I sweat and ache and cuss the pain,
       Cm
But it sure does pass the time.
Eb                Bb
Two days free and all I see
        Cm                F
Are the same old walls to climb.

[Pre-chorus 1]
      Ab              Eb
Guess I could fall by Moreau’s Bar,
    Ab           F
And maybe borrow Jack’s guitar,
    Bb
And find a girl to sing to,
Ab                           F7
   Lord knows she’s what I’m longing.
     Ab                Eb
Hey, who am I kidding? She can’t be
    Ab                  Eb
The sort of girl who’ll wait for me
   Bb
In Sunday laces,
       Ab
In the kind of places
    F7
I belong in.

[Chorus]
      Bb            Eb        Bb Bb7
But I hold on to my dreams anywaaay,
Eb            Eb/D     Cm
   I’ll never let them die.
Bb              Bb/A              Gm
   They keep me going through the bad times,
        F            Eb        Cm      Bb
While I dream of the good times coming by.

[Verse 3]
Bb
   Ten years out from home,
  Bb
I joined the circus, worked the fields,
      Cm
But I never saved a dime.
Eb              Bb
Never stayed in one place long
      Cm          F
'Less I was doing time.
Bb
   Looking for my life,
  Bb
I thought I’d found it once or twice,
       Cm
But it turned out I was wrong.
Eb                  Bb
Heard the music and learned to dance
   Cm             F
To someone else’s song.

[Pre-chorus 2]
     Ab               Eb
I’ve had men tell me, be content
   Ab                  F
To spend your life for food and rent
    Bb
And give up trying
         Ab             F7
They say life’s a dying jailor.
Ab                  Eb
I just tell them, I do alright.
Ab                  F
Still it’s rough on Friday night.
             Bb
When there’s time for thinking
  Ab
I spend it drinking
      F7
Up my failure.

[Chorus]
      Bb            Eb        Bb Bb7
But I hold on to my dreams anywaaay,
Eb            Eb/D     Cm
   I’ll never let them die.
Bb              Bb/A              Gm
   They keep me going through the bad times,
        F            Eb        Cm      Bb
While I dream of the good times coming by.
