Capo third fret

 

.       E
It’s getting late have you seen my mates
.      D
Ma tell me when the boys get here
.        A
It’s seven o’clock and I want to rock
.                E
Want to get a belly full of beer

.       E
My old man’s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
.                D
And my old lady she don’t care
.       A
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
.     E
A handful of grease in her hair
Bm7
Ohhhhhhh

A
Don’t give us none of your aggravation
.       G
We had it with your discipline
D
Saturday night’s alright for fighting
A
Get a little action in

A
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
G
Gonna set this dance alight

.                       E
Well they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight
.        D
I’m looking for a dolly who’ll see me right
.            A
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
.             E
I may sink a little drink and shout out “She’s with me!”
.     E
A couple of the sounds that I really like
.               D
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
.            A
I’m a juvenile product of the working class
.               E
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

Bm7
Ohhhhhhh
