1.    I  worked like a slave for years,

    sweat so hard just to end my fears,

A             G         D                 A

    not to end my life a poor man,

G                                                        A

    but by now, I know I should have run.

take my place, have this number of mine.

  A

Run, run like a fire,

                            G                                   A

but don't you run in, in the lanes, run for time.

2.    Left school with a first-class pass,

A                G                 D           A

    school taught one and one is two,

G                                                        B7

    but by now, that answer just ain't true.
