[D]
You wake up in the [G] morning, you hear the work bell [D] ring.
And I march you to the table, [A]
you see the [B] same old [D] thing.
Ain't no food [G] upon the table, there's no fork up in the [D] pan.
But you better not complain, [A] boy,
[G] you're getting trouble with the [F] man.
[G] Leave the midnight special shine a light on [D] me.
You wake up in the [G] morning, you hear the work bell [D] ring.

But you better not complain, [A] boy,
