Intro C C7 F

Verse 1

F                      C7         F7
Now sometimes   at the end of the day
         Bb                   Bb7
Before I head home   I make a stop along the way
       F                                   Am7         D          G  C 
Have a couple of drinks and wait for that five o'clock rush to go by
C7         F                  Dm7  F         
And almost always   there's a lady 
            Bb                               Bb7
oh and it's so hard   when she starts coming on
                 F  D          G          C          F    Bb C C7
But I pack it on up    turn it around and take it on home

Verse 2

F                        C7        F
And sometimes I've gotta go out of town 
             Bb                  G7   
and I'll be gone for a couple of days
Bb7                  F
   And this buddy of mine   let me tell you 
       Am7   D              G7     C  C7
he's a hound   in the first degree
           F                    C
And almost always   there's the ladies
F                 Bb                         Bb7
Lord and it ain't easy   when you're out and alone
                 F  D         G          C7         F    Bb  Am7
But I pack it on up   turn it around and take it on home

Chorus

   C7        F            Bb    C               F  Am7
I take it on home   to my woman   who sticks by me
C         F                      D           G       C
  Cause I believe   she'd do the same if she was me
      C7        F      F7       Bb
And I would not know   where to turn to 
C           F        Am7      Dm7
Lord if she was gone     no I wouldn't
Bb            Bb7    F       Dm            G            C          F    Bb F
   So when I ain't a workin'    no I don't hang out   I take it on home

outro

C            F   D7            G       C                 F     Bb  F
I pack it on up      I turn it around     and take it on home
