A
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed
Til' I'm satisfied
And let my head
Take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Find me a schack
Where it's cool inside
Turn my back
On the cold outside
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

D
I could go back
To the job I had
But the same old thing
Only drives me mad, so
  A
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
 E
Never again
                   A
Will I have to be down

A
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed
Til' I'm satisfied
And let my head
Take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
