 G5                    F5   C5 
People say they work hard for a reason 
 G5                    F5   C5 
Even though the dayjob is a grind

 G5                    F5   C5 
Now the sun is low on the way to your horizon 
 G5                    F5   C5 
But your still as high on the way into your town 
 G5                    F5   C5 
The mood is cheap i think i'll just stop off and buy some 
 G5                    F5   C5 
And I'm tickle pink with the bargain that i found

Even though the spotlights they don't shine 
 G5                         F5     C5 
Cruzin around takin in all the scenery 
 G5                         F5     C5 
The picture ain't big but the artwork is just fine
