Intro 1
(G major) (F major) (G major)
Verse 1
There's (G major) a grubby little boy
with cold dirty hands
He (B flat major) plays out in front of the bar (G major)
It's now ten o 'clock
and he's been there since
Four in the (B flat major) parking lot filled with (G major) cars
He (F major) comes with Mom
and they (E flat major) meet the old man
when it's (B flat major) payday at the mine (F major)
Mom and Dad go inside
and the (E flat major) little guy tries to find
(B flat major) something to pass the time (C major)
He's (E flat major) payday's child, (F major) payday's neglect,
it (D minor) hap pens every weekend
It's (E flat major) been that way every (F major) Friday
And loneliness has (G major) be (F major) come his (G major) friend
A bunch of beer cans lined up
on a log in the (B flat major) dirt
He draws a (G major) line, itches up his pants
Then throws the rock
and knock (B flat major) s him off (F major) one at a time
(G major) A (F major) dirty wood floor,
smell of (E flat major) old spilled wine,
and a (B flat major) neon glare through a (F major) vein
Outside that light's a (E flat major) child's the night,
he's (B flat major) standing there in the rain (C major)
He's (E flat major) payday's child, (F major) payday's neglect,
it (D minor) happens every weekend
It's (E flat major) been that way every (F major) Friday
And (G major) loneliness has become (F major) his (G major) friend
Midnight comes around
and he's hard to be found
Any (B flat major) where near or (G major) far
He's been given some
candy and had a Coke
And (B flat major) left to sleep in the car
(G major) He (F major) fears the law,
for they (E flat major) haul off his paws
Some (B flat major) times when a fightin' goes on
(F major) He'll run and hide till (E flat major) Mo
m comes outside
And she'll take (B flat major) him home all alone (C major)
He's (E flat major) payday's child, (F major) payday's neglect
It (D minor) hap pens every weekend
It's (E flat major) been that way every (F major) Friday,
And loneliness has (G major) become (F major) his friend.
