[G] Well, you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell [D] ring, and I march you to the [A] table.

But you better [Bm] not complain, [A] boy, you're getting in trouble [Fm] with the [D] man.

the umbrella on her [G] shoulder, a piece of paper in [D] her hand.
Lord, she comes to see [A] the devil.
