Intro: Dm x 4
    Dm
You do your time, tow the line
   
Wading through the water heading for the wine
           Gm  
Throw your pearls for swine, break your spine

You'll never reach a hundred doing 99
          Dm
You gotta lift your chin to see what comes up ahead
           Gm                        Dm
Before the casket slams shut and the fat lady's dead

         Gm              Am   Dm
But if I do do do all I can
                    Gm
Tomorrow comes a chance
         Gm                Am   Dm
And if I do do do all I don't
        Dm               Gm  
There's no reason it won’t

I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
   Gm 
So hand it over a couple million or more!


       Dm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day

Dm
Surprise surprise, I got wise

When you get up in the morning I just close my eyes
   Gm
No dos or dies are worth the price

Cause once you hit the floor they cut you down to size
         Dm
No don't get me wrong we could be one in the same

But there's a difference in the way that we're playin' the game
      Gm
Never let no one be no boss over me
    Dm
You work in chain, but my thinking is free

         Gm              Am   Dm
But if I do do do all I can
                    Gm
Tomorrow comes a chance
         Gm                Am   Dm
And if I do do do all I don't
        Dm               Gm  
There's no reason it won’t

I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
   Gm 
So hand it over a couple million or more!

          Dm
OOOOOHHHH YEAAAAAH


       Dm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day

Midnight shifter
       Gm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day

Midnight shifter
         Dm
Hey Hey Hey!



It's just Dm the rest of the song.  Free style solo, do whatever you want!
