I  (D major) was  (G major)  (D major)  (A major)  (D major) lookin' for a job

His life's too short to spend

And I'll work harder than any job

As long as I can stand  (D major) 
But I ain't gonna sell my soul

Nothin' so import (D major) ant

And I can sure start lookin' again  (A major) 
It may sound funny, but I never let money

G 
to keep a roof above my head  (G major) 
D 
Swallowing my pride,  (D major) 
A 
D 
ain't gonna keep  (A major) this belly of  (D major) theirs
Cause I was looking for a job
when I came here
A 
And I can sure start looking again  (A major) 
It may sound funny, but I never let money
D 
keep me doing something I can't  (D major) stand
If life's too short to spend
the whole thing workin'
Then me and this job's
G 
a -gettin'  (G major) old
D 
Anybody hirin' couldn't  (D major) buy my time
A 
D 
But  (A major) nobody owned my  (D major) soul
