[Verse 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D][G]
[D]Andy was [G]a Catholic,
[D]the ethic ran [G]through his bones
He [D]lived alone with [G]his mother,
[D]collecting gossip and toys
Every [A]Sunday when he went to
church
He'd kneel in his pew and say,
"It's just [D]work,[G]
[D]all that [G]matters is [D]work."[G][D][G]
[D]Andy was a lot of thing[G]s,
[D]what I remember most
He'd say, "I've got to bring home the bacon,
[G]someone's
[D]got to bring home the roast."
He'd [A]get to the factory early
If I'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
It's just [D]work,
[G]the most [D]import[G]ant thing is work[D][G][D][G]
[D]No matter what I did
it never seemed enough
He said I was lazy, I said I was young
He said, "How many
songs did you write?"
I'd written zero, I lied and said,
"Ten."
"You [A]won't be young forever
You should have written fifteen"
It's [D]work, [G]the[D] most important
thing is work
It's work, the [G]most important thing is work
[D]
"You ought to [G]make things [D]big[G]
[D]People like it that way
And the songs with the dirty words
- record them that way"
[A]Andy liked to stir up trouble,
he was funny that way
He said, "It's just [D]work, all that matters
[G]is work"[D][G][D][G][D]
Andy sat down to talk one [G]day
He said de[D]cide what you [G]want[D]
[G]Do you [D]want to expand your
parameters
Or play museums like [G]some dilet[D]tante
I [A]fired him on the spot,
he got red and called me a rat
It was the [D]worst word [G]that he could
[D]think of[G]
[D]And I've never seen him like that
It's just [G]work,
[D]I thought he [G]said it's just [D]work[G][D]
[G][Eb]
Work, [G]he'd said it's [D]just work
[G][D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D]Andy said a lot of things,
I stored them all away in my head
Sometimes when I can't
decide what I should do
I think what would Andy have said
He'd [A]probably say you think too much
That's 'cause there's work
that you don't want to do
It's [D]work,
[G]the[D] most important thing is [G]work
[D]Work, the most important thing
is work
[G][D][G][D][G]
