They grab you by the col[D]lar

Well, you're working very [Em]hard
[C]to get promotion in your [G]job
But arrive late [Em]on morning just be

The foreman says, [D]"You're fired because

Then you go into [Em]a hotel to get

Ain't [G]no money, ain't no wo[Em]man,

So you lay down in [Em]the park and
[C]you wish that you were [G]dead
The fuzz says you are tres[D]passing
and [C]kicks you in the [D]jaw
You don't [G]have to be in the [Em]army [C]to fight
in [G]the war
