E
I have been working so hard
Just came home from my job
Looked down in my wallet
Good God, I have been robbed

Now where can my money be
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay

Chorus:
                         A
You got me singing the blues
                        E
And I am paying all my dues
                         A
You got me singing the blues
                       B
There, got nothing to lose

I got to tell you I got
the blues down in my pockets
People, what did I say?
Bills are going to rob me tomorrow
Why I need my ten dollars today

Chorus

There is no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean
Every time I make me some money
Somebody is going to take it from me

Chorus - x2
