Em D
She works hard for the money, so hard for it, honey,
C D Em
she works hard for the money, so you better treat her right.
+ repeat CHORUS
Em C D Em
Oh, let her there in the corner stand, and she wonders where she is,
C D Em
and it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything.
Em C D Em
Nine a.m. on the hour hand, and she's waiting for the bell,
C D Em
and she's looking real pretty, just waiting for her clientele.
+ CHORUS (2x)
Em C D Em
Twenty-eight years have come and gone and she' seen a lot of tears,
C D Em
of the ones who come in, they really seem to need her there.
Em C D Em
It's a sacrifice working day to day for little money, just tips for pay,
C D Em
but it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care.
+ CHORUS
C D Em
She already knows she's seen her bad times,
C D Em
she already knows these are the good times,
C D Am D
she'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill.
+ CHORUS (4x) ...
