Boss Man
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:
D
VERSE 1:
Boss Man, Boss Man what do you say
Gotta get you alone in the mine some day
Boss Man, Boss Man turn it around
If you don't look away, how can I sit down
VERSE 2:
A G A
Look at this load upon my back
C A
Gotta get this wheel back on the track
G A
I can't hold on, but I can't let go
C A
And I can't say 'yes', I can't say 'no'
VERSE 3:
D
Holes in my pockets and holes in my shoes
If you're ready for me I'm-a ready for you
The company plan takes all my pay
Got a child in July and another last May
VERSE 4:
A G A
Boss Man, Boss Man what do you say
G A
Gotta get you alone in the mine some day
G A
Push your face down in the coal
G A
'Cause you got no heart you got no soul
VERSE 5:
D
Country life's the life for me
In ten more years I'll a pensioner be
The young lad knows when the girls are out
Why you might say he's a rural sprout
VERSE 6:
A G A
Boss Man, Boss Man what do you say
G A
Gotta get you alone in the mine some day
C A
Boss Man, Boss Man clear the track
C A A
You're gonna tear the skin right offa my back
VERSE 7:
D
Boss Man, Boss Man what do you say
If you can't lend a hand then get outta my way
It'll be murder in the first degree
If you ever lay your hands on me
VERSE 8:
A G A
Boss Man, Boss Man pay my rent
G A
'Cause the dollar I've earned is the dollar I've spent
G A
The company plan takes all my check
G A
For breaking my back and risking my neck
VERSE 9:
D
Boss Man, Boss Man what do you say
I gotta get you alone in the mine some day
I can't hold on, but I can't let go
And I can't say 'yes', I can't say 'no'
