I Gotta Work In The Morning                                                Jim Mohr

               Am                                                        Dm
Well his blood was boiling shotgun red as he burst into the bar
E                                                                          Am
He said I'm looking for one certain man, and you know who you are
                   Am
Seems my lady, she ain't been home at night
                     Dm
And there's rumors that she's been here
E                                                                    E7
The bar room then grew deathly quiet, so everyone could hear
              Am                                                     Dm
He said I ain't here to start no trouble, but I want to get one thing straight
              E                                                                                           E7
If you're staying out with my baby tonight, don't keep her out so late


(chorus)
                         A                 D                         E                      A
'Cause I gotta work in the morning and I'm feeling mighty tired
               D                                    A                                      B7                                E    E7
And you wake me up when you bring her home and I'm afraid that I might get fired
A                        A7                                  D                                   B7
I've been late 5 times this week, once more and they say I'm through
                     A                              D                    E                             A        Am
So if you're staying out with my baby tonight, have her home by 2

               Am                                                  Dm
Then he turned and pulled up a stool and ordered a Jim Beam
E                                                                           Am
And I was thinking what a fool he was to let a stranger steal his dream
       Am                                                                Dm
But he just sat and stared at his wife, and the man there at her side
E                                                                        E7
And when he walked on up to them, I could see his bloodshot eyes
              Am                                              Dm
He said I could probly kick your ass or chase you out of state
                    E                                                                                           E7
So if you're staying out with my baby tonight, don't keep her out so late

(to chorus)
