Roger Wilson "Payday"
[Verse]
G G
My breast is heaving, my feet are light
D C
I carry my whole life on my back tonight
G D
This is the life I choose, I don’t do any harm
Em
I’m just looking forward
C G
To my sweetheart’s cuddles and charms, on payday
[Chorus]
G D
I’m gonna dance all night
Em
These people are meeting up
C
Between the trees beneath the moonlight
G
They’ll be trying to keep us apart,
D
Even after all the miles we’ve come
Em
But there’s too many lonely hearts,
C G
Gonna make sure mine isn’t one, on payday
[Verse]
G G
I wasn’t stupid the day that I was born
D C
Whatever happened to me, what were my schooldays for
G D
I did what I was told, then I’ve always been a slow learner
Em
Unlike an idiot toeing the line,
C G
Looking out for a better earner, on payday
[Chorus]
G D
I’m gonna dance all night
Em
These people are meeting up
C
Between the trees beneath the moonlight
G
They’ll be trying to keep us apart,
D
Even after all the miles we’ve come
Em
But there’s too many lonely hearts,
C G
Gonna make sure mine isn’t one, on payday
[Bridge]
G G
So I walk these lanes in the fading light
D C
I feel no pain, I feel no fright
G D
Heart you’ll go your way, whatever you decide
em
I guarantee today
C G
That the head will sympathise, on payday
[Chorus]
G D
I’m gonna dance all night
Em
These people are meeting up
C
Between the trees beneath the moonlight
G
They’ll be trying to keep us apart,
D
Even after all the miles we’ve come
Em
But there’s too many lonely hearts,
C G
Gonna make sure mine isn’t one, on payday
G D
I’m gonna dance all night
Em
These people are meeting up
C
Between the trees beneath the moonlight
G
They’ll be trying to keep us apart,
D
Even after all the miles we’ve come
Em
But there’s too many lonely hearts,
C G
Gonna make sure mine isn’t one, on payday
