PAYCHEQUES – TEX PERKINS

D G D G D G A

x 2

D G D G D G A

Friday's for funerals, Saturday's for brides, I guess I'll take Sunday as mine

D G D G Bm A G

Coz on weekends, I perform miracles, I turn paycheques into wine

Bm A D G D G

One working weeks wage at a time

D G D G D G A

Well maybe it's time, we're getting' on home, the sun is hangin' low in the sky

D G D G

And the wine in my head, turns to lurid thoughts

Bm A G Bm A D G D G

And it disorganises my mind, But I seem to be that way inclined

D G D G D G A

Woo and, all these girls, they tempt me lord, with their long and flowing hair

D G D G Bm A G

But I only ask for the one I've lost, Who's perfume still fills the air

Bm A D G D G

Well it's more than I can bare

D G D G D G A

Should I go hungry, leave it alone , or make it back home to my bed

D G D G

And the merciful sleep, of a drunken man

Bm A G Bm A D G D G

And drown all the things that she said, from goin' round and round in my head

Bm G Bm G Bm G A D G D G D G A

D G D G D G A

Friday's for funerals, Saturday's for brides, I guess I'll take Sunday as mine

D G D G Bm A G

Coz on weekends, I perform miracles, I turn paycheques into wine

Bm A D G D G

One working weeks wage at a time

D G D G D G A

And in the mornin', as shadows fall longer, I sink back deep in my chair

D G D G Bm A G

And I fall into a reverie, imaginin' that she's there

Bm A D G D G

But it's more than I can bare

D G D G D G A

Well if Friday's for funerals and Saturday's for brides, I guess I'll take Sunday as mine

D G D G Bm A G

On weekends, I perform miracles, by turnin' paycheques into wine

Bm A D G D G D G

Memories of her into wine
