Burton Cummings - The workaday

^D7I was visiting a country that I did not understand ^D7Felt like I was drowning, being swallowed by the land In the ^G7workaday, in the ^D7workaday ^D7I was talking to a woman whom I could not understand ^D7She was loud and she was pushy, she was probably a man In the ^G7workaday, in the ^D7workaday ^AMake the most of every minute ^A7Welcome to it, now you're in it^D7

^D7I was standing at the airport with a very nervous man ^D7Said he had to go to Sydney or the deal was through his hands In the ^G7workaday, in the ^D7workaday ^D7I was talking to a singer who was very very wrong ^D7He was totally convinced that I was stealing all his songs In the ^G7workaday, in the ^D7workaday ^ANone of us is any badder ^A7There you go, you're up the ladder^D7

^FSo right, ^Gso cold Keep ^F7on the way you're goin' and you ^D7won't get old ^FNew dreams, ^Gnew fears ^F7Droppin' in your forties in the ^D7recent years

^D7You can take the power with you so you're never out of touch ^D7Makes it easier to deal with those who haven't quite as much In the ^G7workaday, in the ^D7workaday ^D7There's a girl who needs a favour, there's a girl who needs a break ^D7There's a girl who's horizontal, it's a lot of give and take In the ^G7workaday, in the ^D7workaday ^AMake the most of every minute ^A7Welcome to it, now you're in it^D7

^FSo right, ^Gso cold Keep ^F7on the way you're goin' and you ^D7won't get old ^FNew dreams, ^Gnew fears ^F7Droppin' in your forties in the ^D7recent years ^FNew dreams, ^Gnew fears ^F7Droppin' in your forties in the ^D7recent years
