Verse 1
G 
 (G major) Well, I work like a dog eight hours a day,
you know I'm nearly dead.
I stop by a bar on my way home
tryin' to loosen up my head.
C 
 (C major) Lord knows it's a hard life
and sometimes it'll nearly
G 
drive you crazy.  (G major) 
D 
Cause there  (D major) ain't no
C 
pleasures in this life for  (C major) me
G 
But the night time and  (G major) my baby
Well I'd like to ride all over town
in a brand new Cadillac
But all the money that I make
it'll never be like that
C 
Money  (C major) can't buy everything
G 
like tender love that I have on the  (G major) way
D 
C 
And the  (D major) only pleasures in this life for  (C major) me
G 
Is the night time and  (G major) my baby
Em 
When  (E minor) I   get home
she's always got love saved up for me
A 
Her  (A major) warm sweet lips
will make me forget my misery
D 
With  (D major) her arms around me
through the long, night
A 
D 
I  (A major) wake up in the mornin' feelin' right  (D major) 
G 
Sortin'  (G major) back to that old job again
with the boss standin' over me
Say, hurry up, you gotta work hard,
that's the way it's gonna be
C 
The  (C major) hours just keep on draggin' and
G 
Lord knows this life of mine ain't  (G major) easy
D 
Lord,  (D major) ain't no pleasures
C 
in this life for me  (C major)

But the night time and my baby  (G major)
