[C] [G] It's only [Am] six years old, [D] [Am] that old killer [G] died.
[C] [G] Put him down in [Am] a great big hole, [Em] [D] I [Am] fill it up [G] all the time.
See the [Am] buildings rise up to the sky, [D] [Am] parking meters, [G] traffic cops.
[C] [G] You best [Am] watch your records, son, [D] they're [Am] coming like [G] you up.
I've been working [D] all night, I [C] go long into [G] the day.
Ain't [D] got much money now, [C] got the time ahead, got the time ahead [G] to pay.
Smoking a lightening, [Am] dressed to kill, [D] [Am] don't talk to [G] strangers, it's all you know.
Forty years [Am] of sudden death, [D] the [Am] day light's [G] still not over yet.
[C] [G] You should live [Am] to see evening fall, [D] [Am] doctors are [G] working overtime.
Too much of a [Am] good thing is not enough, [D] stepping [Am] stones, [G] building blocks.
I've been working [D] all night, [C] I go long into [G] the day.
Ain't [D] got much money now, [C] got the time ahead, got the time [G] ahead to pay.
