BY NOW I WOULD BE DEAD

[Intro] C    G7    C  x2

C                                                           G7
He said hard work never killed a man and Grandpa oughta know
                                                       C
He must've walked 10 000 miles, down those old corn rows
                                                    G7
Following behind the plow, with an old mule called Jim
                                                     C
I don't know who had a harder head, that old mule or him

F
Wake up boy, get out of bed, don't you think you've slept enough
C                                                        G7
There's lots of work a boy can do, before the sun comes up
C                                                           F
There's cows to milk, a hog to feed, the chickens must be fed
                          C               G7              C
And if hard works' gonna kill you boy, by now I would be dead

[Instrumental] C    G7    C  x2

C                                                 G7
You can learn some lessons, at the south end of a mule
                                                    C
Following the plow all day, will change your attitude
                                                      G7
About the way you view life, how hard you work in school
                                                 C
His work was not to punish, but as a teaching tool

[Chorus]

[Instrumental] C    G7    C  x2

[Chorus]
F
Wake up boy, get out of bed, don't you think you've slept enough
C                                                        G7
There's lots of work a boy can do, before the sun comes up
C                                                        F
There's cows to milk, a hog to feed, the chickens must be fed
                          C               G7             C
And if hard works' gonna kill you boy, by now I would be dead

[Outro]
F                         C                G7            C
And if hard works' gonna kill you boy, by now I would be dead - F   C   G7   C
