I'm so sick, sick, sick and tired[Db5],
Of working just to be reti[Gb]red.
[Gb]I don't want to get that far,
I don't want your company car.
[Ab]Promotions ain't my thing,
Name badges are not interesting.
[Gb]It's much easier for me see,
To stay at home with [Gb/F]Richard and Judy.
[Db5]Away away oh, [Db/D]oh oh, [Db5]away from here.

(Same chords as first verse)
I'm fed up of early mornings
Wake up calls are getting boring round here
Feet dragging on the pavement
The same people with the same arrangement
Irony can be quite funny
You making other people money
My working day has just begun
Its not exactly what I would call fun.
[Ab]I want to wake up in the afternoon,
With daytime TV and my favourite tunes
[Gb]Cos it is much easier for me
To stay at home with Richard and Judy.
(Chorus x2)
[Db5]Away away oh, [Db/D]oh oh, [Db5]away from here.
Away away oh, [Db/D]oh oh, [Db5]away from here.
[Gb]Away away oh, [Gb/F]oh oh, away from here.
[Gb]Away away [Gb/F]oh, oh oh, away from here.
Solo/Instrumental: (Sorry have not worked out solo yet,

(Same chords for verse)
Saturday is your only highlight
When you go out and live the highlife
Meeting up with other people
Your interaction with the weak and feeble
At least when all is said and done
You wouldn't be the only one
To be a slave to the modern wage
Your crappy weekend is your only escape.
[Ab]I want to wake up in the afternoon,
With daytime TV and my favourite tunes
[Gb]Cos it is much easier for me
To stay at home with Richard and Judy.
(Chorus x2)
Away aw[Db5]ay oh, oh oh, [Db/D]away fr[Db5]om here.
Away away oh, [Db/D]oh oh, [Db5]away from here.
[Gb]Away away oh, [Gb/F]oh oh, away from here.
[Gb]Away away [Gb/F]oh, oh oh, away from here.
Hope this is Ok. Sorry for the annoying tuning.
