[G]
I'm up every morning [C] before the sunshine [G] comes rolling in.
And that rooster starts crowing, [C] and that reminds me I need [D] to feed him.
[E] [D] [C] And every day's the same, [G] but every day's different,
[C] cause every day I go deeper [D] in debt.
And you can't [C] cash my checks, and you can't [G] fill this hunger.
You can [F] push me into [C] the water, but you can't [D] hold me under.
[E] [D] You can bring [C] me down, but you can't make [Em] me bed.
[C] You can take [G] my word, [D] but you can't cash [G] my checks.
It's so hard to stay honest [C] in a world that's headed [G] to hell.
You can't make a good living [C] these days, cause the fruit [D] just won't sell.
[E] [D] So [C] if you go out my back door, [G] just over the hill,
[C] you'll see all these plants that's [D] been paying [Em] my bills.
[D] But you [C] can't cash my checks, and you can't fill [G] this hunger.
You can [F] push me into [C] [C] cold water, but you can't [D] hold me under.
You can [C] bring me down, but you [Em] can't make me bed.

You can take [G] my word, [D]
but you can't cash [G] my checks.
