Weekend Song Lyrics

(C major chord played rhythmically beneath lead guitar for intro)
It's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keepin' me alive, doin' nine to five
And I ain't got nothin' to show
Pretty soon I'll be leavin' with the wages I'm receivin'
But you know it's gonna be all right
Come on, babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend the night
horus
Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
As long as I can be with you
C (implied)
I'll find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
Yes, it's back-breakin' bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Seven long years for the same corporation
and I ain't got nothin' to show
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
but I know it's gonna be all right
I'll shake off my blues when you put on your shoes
We got some money to spend the night
Intro, slightly modified guitar part
I don't want to stand here and sound accusin'
F (implied)
Everybody does their share of losin'
Piano run
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right
uitar solo over verse chords
horus
Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
Long as I can be with you
I'll find away to burn it as quickly as I earn it
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five
and I ain't got nothin' to show
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
but I know it's gonna be all right
Come on babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend the night
Slowly
Come on babe
Take me away
G Bb F (minor pentatonic run)
We've got some money to spend the night
