         INTRO:    A / / D

             E
Well, if you see old Annie, better give her a lift..
      A
Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.


A
If Annie puts her hair up on her head,
A
paints them lips up bright, bright red,
D
wears that dress that fits real tight,
        A
starts stayin' out till the middle of the night..
E
Says that a friend give her a lift..
      A
Well, Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

.
A
If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange,
A
starts spendin' your money for brand new things.
D
Tells you that she wants to use the car,
 A
never explains what she wants it for.
E
Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
      A
cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

Middle bit   A / / / / D / /  A / /  E / /  A

CHORUS:
      A
Well, early in the morning when the sun comes up,
      A
you look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough.
    D
You tell her, honey, get out of that bed..
           A
She says, 'Leave me alone, I'm just about dead.'
E
Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
      A
cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

          A / / / / D / /  A / /  E / /  A

A
If you got a good Mama that's stayin' at home,
A
you better enjoy it, cause it won't last long.
 D
When you think everything's all right,
     A
she starts slippin' 'round in the middle of the night.
E
Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
                                                                                  A
A / / D / / A / E / A    cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
