[Verse]
  G                            E7
I get up in the morning in the usual state
Am7                              D
Listen to the breakfast show and know that I'm late
G                           E7
Clock in at the factory and pick up my tools
  Am7                           D
I never give a damn because the union rules (OK)
    G                  E7
I'm back in the old routine
Am7                D
Back in the old routine
G                  E7
Back in the old routine
      Am7                D
We're back in the old routine

[Verse]
  G                          E7
I drop in at the local for a pint and a chat
Am7                        D
End up at the takeaway for Siamese cat
    G                           E7
The wife is watching telly in a pink negligee
    Am7                             D
The midnight horror movie and she's ready to play
      G                  E7
We're back in the old routine
Am7                D

I look forward to the weekend
    G            E7
And Match of the Day
           Am7                B7
Then we're back in the old routine

[Verse]
   G                                E7
Perhaps I'll win the pools and be a millionaire
     Am7                           D
I'll get myself a sports car and a sexy au pair
     G                            E7
I'll buy myself a yacht and sail away for a year
     Am7                          D
With Susan George for company and plenty of beer
        G                   E7
But I'm still in the old routine
Am7                D
Back in the old routine
G                  E7
Back in the old routine
