Intro: Dm x 4
You [Dm]do your time, tow the line
Wading through the water heading for the wine
Throw your [Gm]pearls for swine, break your spine
You'll never reach a hundred doing 99
You gotta [Dm]lift your chin to see what comes up ahead
Before the [Gm]casket slams shut and the [Dm]fat lady's dead
But if I [Gm]do do do all I c[Am]an[Dm]
Tomorrow comes a cha[Gm]nce
And if I [Gm]do do do all I don[Am]'t[Dm]
There's [Dm]no reason it won?[Gm]t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
So [Gm]hand it over a couple million or more!
Said I [Dm]know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Said I [Dm]know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
[Dm]Surprise surprise, I got wise
When you get up in the morning I just close my eyes
No [Gm]dos or dies are worth the price
Cause once you hit the floor they cut you down to size
No don't [Dm]get me wrong we could be one in the same
But there's a difference in the way that we're playin' the game
Never [Gm]let no one be no boss over me
You [Dm]work in chain, but my thinking is free
But if I [Gm]do do do all I c[Am]an[Dm]
Tomorrow comes a cha[Gm]nce
And if I [Gm]do do do all I don[Am]'t[Dm]
There's [Dm]no reason it won?[Gm]t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
So [Gm]hand it over a couple million or more!
OOOOOHHHH [Dm]YEAAAAAH
Said I [Dm]know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Said I [Gm]know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Hey Hey H[Dm]ey!
It's just Dm the rest of the song. Free style solo, do whatever you want!
