Drinking Down Our Pay

capo 2 

Verse 1 
E
Roll out of bed on a Monday morning 
Already the boss is calling 
Slept in a little too late 
I reckon last night was a big mistake 
A
I'm dry as a chip, my head aches 
                                E
I know it's gonna be a long five days  

Verse 2 
E
We'll be mustering cattle for most of the day 
Cleaning out trophs and feeding out hay 
Fix a gate on the boundary fence 
Then it's back to the yards to brand and drench 
A
Got a sale on Wednesday morn 
Load 'em up at the crack of dawn 
E
Long days and not much pay  
But you earn your beer so you can't complain 
C
Waitin' for Friday to come 
D
See the boss, grab the cheque and run 
C
We work for board, we work for our keep 
D
And we work for our turps at the end of the week 

Chorus 
E
We gotta 95k trip into town 
         D                              A
We'll be cruising down the road when the sun goes down 
E                           D  A
Couldn't be a better time of da-y 
      E
And i know this one is gonna be a benda 
D            A
It'll be one to remember 
C                               D
Friday, Saturday, Sunday all the way 
                        E
we're drinking down our pay 

Verse 3 
E
10am wake up at the pub 
Brush our teeth and get some grub 
Today gonna go for a drive 
The rugby's on in Narrabri 
A
Go along, cheer on the boys 
Us girls are gonna make some noise 
E
Got a slab in the eski too 
We're all set till the game is through 
C
Gotta get back into town 
D
Fill 'er up and the foot goes down 
          C
There's a party on at Spud's tonight  
         D
So we'll do it all again till the morning light
