Topic: 10 Percenter Blue's

Hello everyone, I have a lot of friends, family and myself that have been affected by the economy and with unemployment reaching 10 percent. THis one's for all that have felt the crunch.


[song]    10 Percenter Blue's

[A]I woke up this morning, no job, no food , no rent
[D]I woke up this morning , no job no food , no rent[A]
Ya see I lost my job, [E]and all my money’s spent[A]

[A]She said the gravy trains over and I aint gonna miss your crap
[D]She said the free rides over and I wont miss you a bit[A]
Go find you a gal,[E] that’ll put with all your  s$$t. [A]

[A]Got the 10 percenter  blues and I’m sure gonna miss  my babe   Oh Yea!
[D]Got the 10 percenter blues and I’m sure gonna miss that gal[A]
She don’t want me no more[E] and she just showed me the door.[A]

[A]Well  I had me a job, and I had the good Lord to Thank
[D]I drilled some wells, I laid some pipe and Everything was swell[A}
Then the Bossman said[E] don’t  need you no more,  Oh well !

[A]Got the 10 percenter blues and I’m sure gonna miss my babe  OH Yea!
[D]Got the 10 percenter blues and I’m sure gonna miss my babe[A]
She don’t want me no more[E] and she just showed me the door.[A]     x2

Hey Wayne smile

Nice write on this. I'm guessing that a whole bunch can unfortunately relate to it. Hopefully you'll be doing Six.5 Percent Blues sooner than later.

Thanks for this
Kenny

Thanks Kenny,
I did this to kinda make light of the situation alot of folks are in and I am not a downer. I was fiddlin with my guitar and it just kinda come out. I believe in Bob Marley  "Don't worry bout a thing, Every little thing is gonna be alright."

Re: 10 Percenter Blue's

Hi Wlbaye,Great song I see you havent worked out chopro yet,took me a while, under the song line put your song title in brackets eg. {t:10 Percenter Blue's} Then after the last line of your song add [/song],I hope that helps.

I lost my job due to a back injury,still looking for work but like the USA no jobs in great Britain unless you fit the PC profile,bring back common sense & equality. I keep looking with a smile on my face, it wont grind me down. smile

Bob Marley what a great man

Re: 10 Percenter Blue's

Yes I'll be fine too, Thanks Phil

My wife still has a good job, and I am still workin some, but not nearly enough. When i was pounded this song out, I was thinkin what if I didn't have it so good and she did kick my but out.
She's put up with me for thirty years so I think I'm safe. I think ?
