Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
(D major) Andy was a Catholic, (G major)
(D major) the ethic ran (G major) through his bones
He (D major) lived alone with his mother, (G major)
(D major) collecting gossip and toys
Every (A major) Sunday when he went to
church
He'd kneel in his pew and say,
"It's just (D major) work, (G major)
(D major) all that (G major) matters is (D major) work." (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Andy was a lot of thing (G major) s,
(D major) what I remember most
He'd say, "I've got to bring home the bacon,
(G major) someone's
(D major) got to bring home the roast."
He'd (A major) get to the factory early
If I'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
It's just (D major) work,
(G major) the most (D major) important thing is work (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) No matter what I did
it never seemed enough
He said I was lazy, I said I was young
He said, "How many
songs did you write?"
I'd written zero, I lied and said,
"Ten."
"You (A major) won't be young forever
You should have written fifteen"
It's (D major) work, (G major) (D major) the most important
thing is work
It's work, the most important thing is work (G major)
(D major)
"You ought to (G major) make things (D major) big (G major)
(D major) People like it that way
And the songs with the dirty words
- record them that way"
(A major) Andy liked to stir up trouble,
he was funny that way
He said, "It's just (D major) work, all that matters
(G major) is work" (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Andy sat down to talk one (G major) day
He said de (D major) cide what you (G major) want (D major)
(G major) Do you (D major) want to expand your
parameters
Or play museums like (G major) some dilet (D major) tante
I (A major) fired him on the spot,
he got red and called me a rat
It was the (D major) worst word (G major) that he could
(D major) think of (G major)
(D major) And I've never seen him like that
It's just work, (G major)
(D major) I thought he (G major) said it's just (D major) work (G major) (D major)
(G major) (E flat major)
Work, (G major) he'd said it's just work (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Andy said a lot of things,
I stored them all away in my head
Sometimes when I can't
decide what I should do
I think what would Andy have said
He'd (A major) probably say you think too much
That's 'cause there's work
that you don't want to do
It's (D major) work,
(G major) (D major) the most important thing is work (G major)
(D major) Work, the most important thing
is work
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major)
