[A] Hey, hey, hey, hey, got the early Monday morning [E] workin' blues.
I put on my reggae worn out [A] workin' shoes.
Oh well, the weekend was too short, but I [E] can't choose.
When the Lord made the workin' girl, He made [A] the blues.
Well, I'm tired [D] of workin' my [A] life away
and givin' [E] somebody else all [A] of my pay.
While they [D] get rich on the profits that [A] I lose
and leavin' [E] me here with the workin' [A] girl blues.
I [D] love American [A] girl blues.
[E] I can't even afford a new [A] pair of shoes.
While they [D] can live in any old penthouse [A] they choose.
And all [E] that I've got is the workin' [A] girl blues.

My boss said a raise is due most any [E] day.
But I wonder, will my hair be [A] all turned gray?
Before he turns that dollar loose and I get [E] my dues
and lose a little bit of these workin' [A] girl blues.
I'm tired [D] of workin' my life [A] away
and [E] givin' somebody else all of [A] my pay.
While they [D] get rich on the profits that [A] I lose
