1. Blue Monday morning at the factory gate,
G7 C
almost
time to clock in,
G7 C
the
boys were betting that Joe wouldn't show,
F G
they'd
seen him over the weekend.
C
He had four new tires on his
old Cadillac,
F
Betty, the waitress and some
clothes in the back,
F
C
and a
dashboard full of road-maps of Mexico.
G C
Joe knows how to live. He said ...
Am Em F C
Women were made to love, money is made to
spend,
Am
Em F A
life is
something, buddy, you will never live again.
Dm
- F G C
Oh, I've got to admit, Joe sure knows how to live.

2. By now they'll be down at the ocean,
G7 C
he
and Betty stretched out somewhere,
G7 C
the
only blue in his eye is the blue moonlight,
F G
bouncing
off Betty's blond hair.
C
Oh, and I can just see them rolling
round on the sand,
F
I never thought I was a
jealous man,
- C
but
when I think what he's doing and what
I'm not,
G C
Lord, I'm jealous a lot.
+ CHORUS + F - C - G - C
G7 C
3. Now Betty's back home with her mother,
G7 C
Joe's back on the assembly
line,
G7 C
but
he brings in his pictures and his Mexican hat,
F G
just
to remind us sometimes.
+ CHORUS
Dm - F
G C
+ Yeah, I hate to admit, Joe sure knows how to live .....
