A7 E A7 E
with them bells playing in my head.

[Verse 3]
E
Well, my axe is gettin' rusty
B e
and an old slow demon I seem to be.
The throat is gettin' dusty,
B E
before it's gone that I had thrifty hands.
Well, I've been up for heart breakin'
B E
and I had to keep my men to pay.
G A
I had to catch a plane this morning
B E
with them bells ringing in my head.
[Chorus 3]
A
Sometimes I work so hard,
E
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone.
G7 D7

A7 B7#9 E
boogie on my way back home. Yeah.
G7 D7
Said I learned to boogie, boogie,
A7 B7#9 E
boogie on my way back home.

I can boogie, boogie,
A7 B7#9 E
boogie on my way back home.
