Topic: Work Week Bop

I did some calculating and I figured that I should be able to retire sometime in my 90s, but that’s okay though. By then the 90s will be the new 50s I figure.

Work Week Bop By Jeff Gilpin


March 31, 2012


Capo 2


Intro


[G] [G] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G]


Verse 1


[G]Monday morning go to work

A[G]nother day in the endless stream


As I [D]work the whole day [G]through


But I’m [D]coming home to [G]you

[C]Somehow I can put up with it


[G]Action adventure the way I live it


[C]Maybe someday I can give it


[D]Up but I don’t know [D7]when…




Verse 3


[G]Wednesday morning sure am tired


[G]Stayed up late I was too wired


But I [G]got to show up so I don’t get fired


Then [D]work the whole day [G]through


But I’m [D]coming home to [G]you




Verse 4


[G]Thursday morning’s a piece of cake



To[G]day’s there’s nothing I can’t take


Don’t [G]even care if they make me stay late


I’ll [D]work the whole day [G]through


But I’m [D]coming home to [G]you

Verse 5


[G]Friday morning’s finally here


[G]I’ll make it through I have no fear


[G]And the weekend’s oh so near


After [D]working the whole day [G]through


Then I’m [D]coming home to [G]you




Verse 6


My [G]weekend goes by much too fast


[G]My how does the time fly past


[G]Trying to make my Sunday last


[D]Loving the whole week [G]through


I'll [D]spend my time with [G]you

Re: Work Week Bop

hey Jeff
It's always good to be optimistic about actually retiring..
What with the national debt and the way to long life expectancy wev'e all got now I hear retirement will be outlawed so only the bankers and govement workers can stop work..
The rest can just keep working and pay their taxes..

Re: Work Week Bop

Thanks Daddy and Ark - A co-worker of mine mentioned they were retiring last week, which got me to thinking about the subject. I have no idea when that day will come, but I know I can't see it from here...I expect to keep going for the foreseeable future, but I guess there are worse things.

I'm looking forward to hearing how you play and sing this, Jeff. Are  you going to record it?

Re: Work Week Bop

Hey MaryBelle - I will eventually, but I'm mostlikely going to try it out on Zurf first. It's been a while since I've been able to attend his monthly weekend jam session, and I have a bunch of new stuff to try out there.
