(Bb) Another (Gm) day it's the (Bb) same old (Gm) grind

(Bb) Well, I (Gm) swear that (Bb) this old (Gm) truck
(Bb) It's like a (Gm) golden (F) chari(Gm)ot it's (F) got
A (Bb) short (Gm) bed and a (Bb) long (Gm) loan
(Bb) But it's (Gm) surely gonna (F) take me (Gm) home
And (F) I'm (Bb) ready (Eb), I'm (Bb) ready (Eb)
(Bb) It's five o'clock and I'm (F7) heaven bound

(Bb) It's five o'clock and I'm (F7) heaven (Bb) bound
Its been a (B) long (G#m) day, Lord, and (B) I've worked (G#m) hard
(B) But now I'm (G#m) goin' to my (F#) final re(G#m)ward (F#)
(B) It's your (G#m) love and I (B) just can't (G#m) wait
(B) To be (G#m) standin' at the (F#) pearly (G#m) gates
And (E) I'm (B) ready (E), I'm (B) ready (E)
(B) It's five o'clock and I'm (F#7) heaven bound
(B) I'm (E) ready, (B) I'm (E) ready
(B) It's five o'clock and I'm (F#7) heaven (G#m) bound
Well, I'm gonna (F#) leave this weary (E) workday
world be(B)hind (G#m)
When I look (F#) in your eyes, that (E) heavenly
light gonna (F#) shine
