Dm
I was working real hard before I got laid off

weeks of working for to file my claim
C N.C Am Dm
Now I'm back in the ranks of the unemployed again
[Chorus 1]

And it 's U. I. C standing in the long line
Dm
U.I.C. waiting for a cheque

U.I.C. thinking you're going to have a great time
Dm Bb C Dm
But three months later you're a nervous wreck
[Verse 2]

Now they 're sending me extra but they 're taking it buck

And writing me letters saying "come and see us Jack"

The looks of counselor would make the flowers wilt
C N.C Am Dm
And when I'm on the pogey I'm always full of guilt

U.I.C. cursing yourself for afool
Dm Bb C Dm
As you're lighting up the fireplace with your Bachelor of Arts

They say there's work in Edmonton and work in Montreal
C Am
Work digging graves and picking apples in the fall
Dm
Work in the east and in the west
C N.C Am Dm
But the best job of all is handing out the cheques
[Chorus 3]
C
And it's U.I.C. standing in the long line

Dm Bb C Dm
But I'd better finish now because my claim has ran out!
