G 
A  dollar down and
D 
a dollar up when I'm caught
G 
Yeah, Lord, I'm stuck with
D 
all this mess I'm on
G 
Every time somebody knocks
C 
I dip to the bathroom in my socks
G 
Gm 
On account of that dollar down,
D 
G 
C 
and a dollar when I can
G 
Yeah, a dollar down,
D 
G 
and a dollar when I can
D 
Mmm, Lord, I hate that easy credit plan
G 
Oh, my baby's stress to kill
C 
It keeps me stuffin' with these bills
Gm 
On and out of that dollar down,
D

D 
G

your eyes may shine

C 
But you can't cut out
to these papers you sign
G 
Just about noon I started to write
Em 
A 
When I staggered home it was near midnight
G 
Em 
G 
Woke late next
morning and lost my dime
C 
So I  ran to my job trying to make time
C#dim 
G 
I fell     in the door out of breath and tired
Em 
A 
The boss picked me up
D 
and said, boy,
