D  A  E  A

[Verse]
           A              E
I work all day to pay the rent
                   D                          A
Before the money's earned, well it's all been allocated
      F#m           D            A                E
I got nothin' on my plate, but I wish that I were fat
D         A                E         A
Nine more gallons and I'll have me a hat

        A                  E
Workin' nights, I'm always tired
          D                   A
I hope my boss doesn't get me laid off
     F#m             D           A             E
It's hard to pull an empty load even if you're stuck
D              A               E         A
Seventeen more wheels and I'll have me a truck

[Chorus]
D                A     D                  Bm
Two more times a lady, three more hundred blows
D              A       B7                    E
Four more easy pieces, five more days on the road
D                 A         D                  A
Seven more days a week now, eight more lives a cat
D         A                E         A
Nine more gallons and I'll have me a hat

[Verse]
        A                   E
Workin' weekends to pay the bills
         D                            A
I wish I lived someplace like Beverly Sills
    F#m              D         A                   E
I'd love to have her autograph right here on these checks
D              A                 E                   A
Fifty-one more cards and I'll be playin' with a full deck
