          B
I need a job
                 E
I need it right now
                  B
Not just any old job
                     E
But I need it right now

It's gotta be a good one
It's gotta last
Longer than the other ones
In the past

           C#m
I can work hard
            A
And do my thing
            C#m
Twenty-four seven
     F#
Anything

Yeah

Chorus:
 A       B
Gimme a job
My love is unemployed
 A       B
Gimme a job
And my heart ain't overjoyed
 A       E
Gimme a job
I don't mean to be paranoid
    C#m          E
So come on over baby
             B
And gimme a job

Oh yeah

I don't care
If the pay's no good
Just gimme some shelter
And throw me some food

I can do the overtime
And I won't strike
Sign on the dotted line
Anything you like

Yeah

Chorus

                C#m
I don't need no money
                        A
To make my dream come true
             C#m
I don't need anything
              F#
All I want is you
Ain't that the truth!

Uh!

Chorus:
Gimme a job
My love is unemployed
Gimme a job
And my heart ain't overjoyed
Gimme a job
I don't mean to be paranoid
So come on over baby

Gimme a job
My love is on it's knees
Gimme a job
If you want it, then baby please
Gimme a job
Get me out of this deep, deep freeze
So come on over baby
And gimme a job
