G# C# B D# Every morning bout half past eight, My Mummer wakes me says,"Don't be late", Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate, C# My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. - G# C# B D# So I stop one day to figure it out, I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt, To sing the blues that I know all about, C# My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. - C#* F#* Minute after minute, C* F/C Second after second, A# D# G# Hour after hour goes by, C#* F#* Working for a rich man, C* F/C Staying just a poor man, A# D# G# Never stop to wonder why. - So here I am in London town, A better scene I'm gonna be around, The kind of music that won't bring me down, My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

Minute after minute, Second after second, Hour after hour goes by, Working for a rich man, Staying just a poor man, Never stop to wonder why.
