Well someone made a mistake
A7 E7
When they said life was a bowl of fruit

For me there isn't no escape from the blues

I got to go out to the well yard

I got to get myself a food stamp

So I can buy myself a cup of coffee

And now I'm wearing out my socks

Well I ain't got no rent to pay, no rent to pay
