I was digging in the yard today
C C/B Am
When a letter came from Southampton way
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
G G/B G/E G/D
I must admit I was a bit in the red
C C/B Am
But if you never have pleasure then you could be dead
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on [C]wor[C]king
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on [C]wor[C]king
[C] But there's one thing
They can't [G]take a[Am]way
[C] Hear the sea sing
See a [G]smiling [Am]face
[C] I think we're OK
Though we all [G]could be [Am]mad
[C] That's what they say
Am D [LINK 1: see above]
We just can't all be bad
G G/B G/E G/D
I got something now to think about
C C/B Am
I'll work all day but not to pay it out
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
G G/B G/E G/D
Don't care if they say where a dying race
C C/B Am
I'd rather be here than any other place
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
[G]Keep [G]on [Am]wor[Am]king
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on [C]wor[C]king
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on [C]wor[C]king
[C] And there's another whirl
They can't [G]ever [Am]touch
[C] Just need a boy and girl
It don't [G]cost you [Am]much
[C] And if your luck is in
You might have [G]kids at [Am]play
[C] To make you laugh and sing
Am D [LINK 1: see above]
When you're old and gray
Bb [MIDDLE 8: see above]
Keep on working
