Capo 4
I Need A Breather
(this is how Darryl plays it in concert)
G C D G

G 	  	    C 	  	  	  	 
I got a place that I like to slip off to
     D                         G
When everything starts closin? in 
    G 	  	  	   C
And I got some ways that the world don?t agree with
      D 	  	  	        G
Yeah, some folks would call it a sin
    C                         G
But I work like a dog and I?m good at my job
      C  	  	        D
And I live for a one-day weekend
   G 	  	        C
So I?m takin? off and I might stay all week
       D                   G
Hell I may never come back again.

Chorus:
C
I Need A Breather, a sweet senorita
 	     	      G
Writin? my name in the sand
D 	  	  	  	  	    G
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
     C
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
     G    	  	            C
Just sit back and take it all in
D 	  	  C       D        G
I got a fever and I Need A Breather again.

G C D G

    G 	  	      C
The people at work they think I?m a loner
    D 	  	       G
But I need some time to myself
    G                        C
And I don?t want to waste my precious vacation
D                   G
Livin? for somebody else
      C                     G
Cause I?ll have a drink and I might fall down
      C 	  	  	          D
And I don?t think that they?d understand
G 	  	       C
I know it all sounds a little bit crazy 
     D 	  	  	    G
Well maybe that?s just what I am


Chorus:

C G C D G C D G

G                 C
Things fell apart down at the office
    D                         G
And I?m getting blamed for it all
G 	  	          C
I?ve only been back for a couple of days
        D                    G
And I?m already climbin? the wall

Chorus2:
    C
Hey I Need A Breather, a stiff margarita
                      G
Bring ?em fast as you can
      D 	  	  	  	  	  	  G
Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
     C
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
     G    	  	           C
Just kick back and take it all in
D 	  	   C      D         G     C
I got a fever and I Need A Breather again
D 	  	   C      D         G              C D G
I got a fever and I Need A Breather again. Yes I Do.
