[N] [A]
About five years ago, [D] I didn't [A] have a cent, [D] so looking [A] for a job [E] to the music [D] man I went.
[A] The manager he said, [D] this band has [A] got a role, [D] so climb [A] aboard with me [E] and hand over [A] your soul.
And so it's pickin' pickin' hard, [D] as long as you [A] can stand.
[D] Pickin' all [A] the day, workin' [E] for [D] the [A] music man.

The band began to roll [Eb] and I lit [Bb] up a smoke, while thinking to myself [F] that this job was [Eb] just a joke.
[Bb] But then I heard a yell, [Eb] put on your [Bb] boots my son, [Eb] get off that [Bb] dirty floor and make that guitar hum.
And so it's pickin' pickin' hard, [Eb] as long as you [Bb] can stand.

[B]
everywhere we went, [E] and tired as [B] I could be, [E] I soon made up [B] my mind [Gb] that this life was [E] not for me.
[B] But then I heard a shout, [E] you're hired for the run, so get back [B] up in here [Gb] and make that [B] guitar hum.

Now listen to my [F] song, you men who [C] play for fun, [F] keep clear of [C] music man, [G] they'll take you [F] for a run.
[C] The pickin' life is tough, [F] you'd better [C] stop it quick, [F] it'll leave you [C] where you started, [G] you're better [C] off to quit.
