Capo on 1st fret 
 
 
E 
I was late for work 
 
My boss is a jerk 
                          B7 
He said don?t let it happen again 
B7 
But when I got my check 
 
I said what the heck 
                                 E 
I?ll spend a weeknight out with friends 
 
 
E 
The last thing I recall 
 
About the old dancehall 
                                        A 
Was thinking I should probably get home soon 
    B7 
But at least I enjoyed becoming unemployed 
                        E 
I woke up at the crack of noon 
 
E                         A      E 
That?s one less thing to worry about 
E                    B7       E 
Work was a jail and I busted out 
E                                  A 
I got time on my hands and there ain?t no doubt 
        B7              A     E 
That?s one less thing to worry about 
 
There was a new girl in town 
And I seen her around 
She was the prettiest thing I?d seen 
I had a plan in mind 
How to make her mine 
At the fair out in Abilene 
 
Well I won her a prize 
And I looked in her eyes 
I thought that love I saw there was real 
But on a ride in the sky 
She met another guy 
Left me standing by the ferris wheel
