 Verse 
 G                    F   C 
People say they work hard for a reason 
 G                    F   C 
Even though the dayjob is a grind 
 G                    F   C 
We all know they work hard for the weekend 
 G                    F   C 
Friday night makin up for doin time 
  
 Verse- 
 G                    F   C 
Now the sun is low on the way to your horizon 
 G                    F   C 
But your still as high on the way into your town 
 G                    F   C 
The mood is cheap i think i'll just stop off and buy some 
 G                    F   C 
And I'm tickle pink with the bargain that i found 
 
 Chorus- 
 
 
 Em                    D 
Now the party's on in your home town 
 C                     D 
The mood is up and the pressure is down 
 Em                    D 
We need this time just to clear our mind 
 C                     D 
Makin a livin makin up for doin time 
 
 Verse- 
 

 G                         F     C 
Everyone here can hold the stage believe me 
 G                         F     C 
Even though the spotlights they don't shine 
 G                         F     C 
Cruzin around takin in all the scenery 
 G                         F     C 
The picture ain't big but the artwork is just fine 
 
 Chorus- 
 

 Em                   D

 C                    D

 Verse- 
  

  D                                 C 
This common style might just be the death of me 
  D                                    C 
There might be better ways to go but this is alright 
  Am                                  Em 
I can hear my workin world, oh lord it's callin me
