C
I get up in the morning Hear the work bell warning Shuffle to my 9 to 5 
F                       Dm              C               
I come home in the evening I get that feeling, Lord, I start to come alive
C
Now I don't care about cool conversation (that's right) I just don't have the time, no
F                               Dm              C
All I want is the love my baby keeps my soul in line

Chorus I
Bb                              F                       C
One of these days I'm gonna rise up, singing with you
Bb                              F               C                                               
One of these days I'm gonna rise up, yes it's true

Verse II
C
Now I found out about pain and doubt Long, long time ago
F                       Dm                      C
But she cured my blindness With love and kindness Stays no matter where I go
C
Now I heard people, all the people talking (that's right) They just don't understand, no
F                       Dm                      C
There's no good reason to go on explaining when a woman's in love with her man


Chorus II
Bb                              F                  C
One of these days I'm gonna rise up, singing with you
Bb                              F                  C
One of these days I'm gonna rise up, yes it's true

Cause all I need is to go on living You keep me satisfied
