I'm Up To My Neck In I.O.U
GFor twenty-two days I’ve stood in the welfarDe line
WithD7out an education a job was hard to Gfind
G7 C
And up in front of me were ten thousand plus nine
And I'm up to my neck in GI.O.U.’s anDd down to my lasGt dime
GI tried to sell some pencils on the Dstreet
But D7found my luck to sell was just Gweak
G7 C
I’m ashamed to have to pretend that I am blind
But I'm up to my neck in GI.O.U.’s anDd down to my lasGt dimG7e
D G
Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s, I owe everybody in town
EveryAday I say I’m getting on up put A7I keep goinDg down
And I’ve signed every paper in town that I could sign
But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
Well the internal revenue department is having fits
They claim I underpaid them by six pence
If I wound up in court I’ll serve out ninety-nine
Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
Yes I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
