A                      D          A

I bought a scooter and I rented a shack

                       E        A

Out in the sun, by the railroad track  

                      D           A

I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back 

                            E      A

Workin' and workin' for the big payback



                       D       A   

I keep a puttin' and a puttin' out     

                         E       A

I keep a sweatin' like a hog and all   

                          D      A

I work so long that I'm a losin' track 

                        E      A

Waitin', waitin' on the big payback



             D

Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, ring out Sam

  A

I took on that train rumblin' down this track                  



They got your neck in the noose, you're draggin' long in back  

                        E      A

Chasin' and chasin' the big payback                            





(Harp solo)| A | D A | A | E A | A



                        D            A                                                               

Oh what my foreman does well I don't know                      

                     E                A

He just throws me a shovel and yells "Go, Bobby, Go"           

                                   D         A 

Oh well-a all day long he's just a busy wise crack             

                                    E      A

While I'm sweatin' and sweatin' the big payback                



             D

Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, ring out Sam

  A

I took on that train rumblin' down this track                  



They got your neck in the noose, your hands are tied up in back

                                         E      A

And you're a-workin' and workin' for the big payback           





(Harp solo)| A | D A | A | E A | A



                            D             A

I quit that job, and Mister I ain't goin' back                 

                            E       A

Got me a knife and she's a long and bad                        

                             D               A

I'll tell you how I make the peace with that man               

                         E      A

Down in the alley of the big payback                           

                                                               

       D 

I go a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, c'mon man    

         A

You're a goin' to that train rumblin' down this track     



I got your neck in the noose and I don't give a damn, Jack

                                     E    A

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

                                     E    A

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

                                     E    A

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback
