Well, I got out of work and I headed for the neighborhood beer joint.
I [E] sat around and ate a few of them balls like I [A] always do.
[D] Well, I didn't leave nothin' to say and well, there [A] ain't no point.
[E] There's somethin' about Monday that always makes [A] me blue.
[E] Well, it was well after dark, so I knew my wife and kids were [A] waitin'.
[E] I guess I took a left where it generally takes a [A] right.
Well, I [D] filled her up with gas and took a whore at [A] the Texaco Station.
I threw [E] the car seat in the dumpster and I headed out into [A] the night.
[D] Oh, [G] [A]
[E] there's somethin' about Monday that always makes [A] me blue.
Well, [E] I had a 735 Hellbent [A] Revival I [E] ain't never had a truck up past this [A] 5-4
[D] Well, somethin' bout that little red Lyle always [Ab] looked so [A] final
[E] But he beat the crap out of that Chevrolet [A] truck ago
[Eb] Now down in [E] Mexico they got a little place called [A] Boy's Ham
The [E] red man still a man didn't know what I was talkin' [A] about
Well, [D] I walked into that Cadillac bar and laid [Abm] my [A] cash down
I [E] said, plenty more than I came from and the lights went [A]

[E] Now I woke up in a county jail across the [A] line of the radar.
[E] I had a headache and a nip in the tail and it had me [A] through the nose.
[Db] He said, now [D] you got to cross that river of life, [Dbm] I don't [A] know.
[E] But your wife just made you pay so now you're really [A] dead for sure.
[E] Now my wife's too calm and false and she lied so I got [A] in the job back.
[E] And the boys had to play and whisper and [A] stare at me.
[D] Well, my wife's a fine lot of little guys, a female [A] on a right track.
[E] Asked for a proper pay for a wiggle in a [A] dangerous place.
