WIND IT ON UP
Pat McLaughlin
GSon, she said, be your Down kind of man
and Amretire with a Emdollar in your hand
and what she Bmmeant was
Cwind it on up when Gyour work is done
GBut the dawn, it put a Dlight in my room
Amcut between a Emtable and a spoon
and then I got my fBmeet up
Ckicking down a Gnever before wall
GI spot a man about Dhalf of my age
Amwith a girl off of this Emmorning's front page
and lord, his Bmhands were
Cwinding it up like nothin' Gyou ever saw
GMa Cherie' you're Dsurrounded by fools
in that Amdress, you're gonna make sEmhort work of my school
and when Bmoffended
Cwind it on up and Gsend it on home to me
GSaid the news in Dfront of my face
AmThis is the day gonna change Emthe whole human race
and I said lighten Bmit up boys
CYou're windin' it up for Gyour own good time
GMake a move and get to Dsomewhere by five
AmGet control, get yourself a Emdrink in some dive
and get your mind Bmmade up
Cto be gettin' it on with your Gfavorite country star
GSon, she said, be your Down kind of man
Amand retire with a little bit of Emmoney in your hand
and what she Bmmeant was
Cwind it on up in your Gown sweet time

Ma Cherie' you're surrounded by fools

Said the news in front of my face

Am Em

This is the day gonna change the whole human race

and I said lighten it up boys

C G

You're windin' it up for your own good time

Make a move and get to somewhere by five

Get control, get yourself a drink in some dive

and get your mind made up

Son, she said, be your own kind of man

Am Em

and retire with a little bit of money in your hand

and what she meant was
