G              C                   G          D       

Meet me in the morning     I'll be Happy as a clown

G                      C               G                D       

You'll just be getting up     And I'll still be getting down

G                   C             G                 D        

The band is getting tired     But they don't give a damn

Em                               D             

So blow the girls a kiss     And give the boys a hand



CHORUS:



G                C            G              D     

You can take the Sunshine     I can take the Moonshine

G                C             G              D   

You can take the high road     I can take the low

G                C               G              D    

The later in the evening     The one thing I believe in 

Em                                   G    D      G   

I'm on the Road to Ruin     It's the only way to go

G C G D G



G             C            G             D   

A penny in my pocket     A bucket in the well

G                 C              G                D   

Then Saturday was Sunday     And I could hear the bells

G               C        G                   D   

Deliver me from Evil     Forgiveness and for love

Em                                    D      

You're heading for confession     And I'm heading to the pub



*CHORUS*



Em                      C             

Nancy in the corner     Now I'm moving in

Em                                      C               D        

I thought I'd take me chances     But I took one on the chin

Em                           C           

I finally got her number     She wrote it on a cup

Em                                        G        D      G       

But I phoned her in the morning     And I woke her mudder up

G                       C             G                 D    

She wished that I would go to bed     I only wished her well

G                    C                   G                  D    

And then she told me Jesus said     that I'd go straight to Hell

G               C                 G                D    

She's following His footsteps     I'm following my nose

Em                                        G       D        G    

We're heading for the same place     I'll see you down the road
