G#     C#           B        D#       
Every morning bout half past eight,
My Mummer wakes me says,"Don't be late",
Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate,
    C#
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

G#     C#             B        D#
So I stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that I know all about,
    C#
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

C#*           F#*
Minute after minute,
C*            F/C
Second after second,
A#          D#       G#
Hour after hour goes by,
C#*            F#*     
Working for a rich man,
C*              F/C      
Staying just a poor man,
A#             D#     G#
Never stop to wonder why.

So here I am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.
