VERSE 1: 
 
E5                                 A5 
If I could make my living going fishing  
              E5                     B5 
Then I would make my living with a line and pole  
     E5 
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord  
 A5 
Buy some working clothes  
                E5 
Cause I ain't making money going fishing  
          B5             E5 
Like I'm paid at the factory 
 
VERSE 2: 
E5                                        A5 
If I could pay all these bills with my guitar  
              E5                         B5 
Then I would pay these bills with some rock and roll  
     E5 
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord  
 A5 
Buy some working clothes  
                E5 
Cause I ain't making money playing guitar  
          B5             E5 
Like I'm paid at the factory 
  

          A5 
Now if I could (if I could)  
         E5 
Then I would (then I would)  
       F#5 
Make money doing something that I love  
      B5 
I'd thank my lucky stars above  
 
VERSE 3: 
   E5                           A5 
If I could just get by loving you dear  
               E5                  B5 
Then I would just get by making love to you  
     E5 
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord  
  A5 
Buy some working clothes  
                E5

Like I'm paid at the factory
