/ Em
Well, I / got a job, and
/ C - G
I put my / money a - way,
/ Em
But I / got the kind of debt
/ C - G
That no honest / man can pay.
/ Em
So I / drew out what I had
/ C - G
From the / Central Trust, and
/ Em
I / bought us two tickets
/ D
On that / Coast City bus.
Chorus:
/ Em
Now our / luck may have died, and
/ C - G
Our / love might be cold,
/ Em / C
But with / you for - ever I'll / stay.

We'll be / goin' out,
/ C - G
Where the / sands turn to gold,
/ Em
But put your / stockin's on,
/ D
'Cause it / might get cold.
Chorus:
/ Em
Now I've been a - / lookin' for a / job,

But it's / hard to find,

I am / South of the line.

Well, I'm / tired of gettin' caught out
/ C - G
On the / losin' end,
/ Em
But I / talked to a man last night,

Gonna do a little / favor for him.
