Times are hard
        G                C
You're afraid to pay the fee
       F                 Bb
So you find yourself somebody
        C              G
Who can do the job for free
         Am7           Dm7
When you need a bit of loving
            G              C
'Cause your man is out of town
           F               Bb
That's the time you get me running
        C             Dm
And you know I'll be around
 
C     Fmaj7           Am             Bb
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
C       Fmaj7         Am            Bb
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
C     Fmaj7           Am             Bb   C  F
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
 
Am7       Dm7
Light the candle
        G             C
Put the lock upon the door
         F                  Bb
You have sent the maid home early
       C              G
Like a thousand times before
         Am7           Dm7
Like the castle in its corner
     G        C
In a medieval game
      F            Bb
I foresee terrible trouble
      C                  Dm
And I stay here just the same
 
C     Fmaj7           Am             Bb
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
C       Fmaj7         Am            Bb
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
C     Fmaj7           Am             Bb   C  F
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
