C
Shiftwork, hard work, tired body,
             C7          F
blue collar shirt and a baseball cap
       C
Union made
He's hot, sweat drops round the clock
                C7            F
the door never locks and the noise
                      C
never stops night or day
        G    F             C
workin' 7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Shirtwork, tough work
for the busy convenience store clerk
two feet that hurt and going insane
she's mad, at some lad
drove off and didn't pay for his gas
and he won't be the last, around the clock pain.
workin' 7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Chorus:
                           F   C
Talkin' 'bout a bunch of shiftwork
                    F   C
a big ole pile of shiftwork
G    F             C
7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Well I worked shiftwork for 10 years
man i hated that work then i made a break
with the money i saved
it took me to the beach
to have a beer by the edge of the sea
in this 'round-the-clock place
i drank my money away
we partied 7 to 3, 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Chorus

Talkin' 'bout a bunch of shiftwork
a big ole pile of shiftwork
7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7
7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7
