*G      G/B            G/E   G/D 
  I was digging in the yard today 
       *C       C/B         Am 
When a letter came from Southampton way 
G    G  Am Am 
Keep on working 
G    G  Am Am 
Keep on working 
*G        G/B         G/E        G/D 
 I must admit I was a bit in the red 
          *C          C/B               Am 
But if you never have pleasure then you could be dead

C 
 But there's one thing 
           G     Am 
They can't take away 
C 
 Hear the sea sing 
      G       Am 
See a smiling face 
C 
 I think we're OK 
              G        Am 
Though we all could be mad 
C 
 That's what they say 
              Am     D LINK 1: see above 
We just can't all be bad 


*G     G/B              G/E      G/D 
 I got something now to think about 
    *C        C/B            Am 
I'll work all day but not to pay it out 
G    G  Am Am 
Keep on working 
G    G  Am Am 
Keep on working 
     *G            G/B         G/E   G/D 
Don't care if they say where a dying race 
   *C         C/B           Am 
I'd rather be here than any other place 
G    G  Am Am

C 
 And there's another whirl 
           G    Am 
They can't ever touch 
C 
 Just need a boy and girl 
         G        Am 
It don't cost you much 
C 
 And if your luck is in 
               G       Am 
You might have kids at play 
C 
 To make you laugh and sing 
            Am      D LINK 1: see above
