BY NOW I WOULD BE DEAD

[Intro] C C G7 G7 C C x2

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

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

[Instrumental] C C G7 G7 C C x2

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

[Chorus]

[Instrumental] C C G7 G7 C C x2

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

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