(C major chord played rhythmically beneath lead guitar for intro)
FIt's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
CTwo more hours to go
Yes, it's Bbkeepin' me alive, doin' nine to five
And I Gain't got nothin' to Cshow
FPretty soon I'll be leavin' with the wages I'm receivin'
But you Cknow it's gonna be all right
BbCome on, babe, and Dmtake me away
We got some Gmmoney to Cspend the Fnight

I can't afford a vacation
DmBut I can take the Ebstrain
BbAs long as I can G/Bbe with you
C (implied)
I'll find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
Yes, it's back-breakin' bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Seven long years for the same corporation
and I ain't got nothin' to show
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
but I know it's gonna be all right
I'll shake off my blues when you put on your shoes
We got some money to spend the night

[Chorus]
Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
Long as I can be with you
I'll find away to burn it as quickly as I earn it
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five
and I ain't got nothin' to show
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
but I know it's gonna be all right
Come on babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend the night
[Slowly]
BbCome on babe
DmTake me away
G Bb F (minor pentatonic run)
We've got some money to spend the night
