Verse 1:
   G
My telephone wakes me in the morning.  Have to get up to answer the call,
     F             C           G             F          C          G
So I think I'll go back to the family, where no one can ring me at all.

Verse 2:
          G
Living this life has its problems, so I think that I'll give it a break.
    F         C           G                   F         C         G
Oh, I'm going back to the family, 'cause I've had about all I can take.

Repeat intro lick, then:
Am C D                               C
     Master's in the counting house, counting all his money.
     D                               C
     Sister's sitting by the mirror, she thinks her hair looks funny.
     G                      Bb                C                         D
     And here am I thinking to myself, just a-wondering what it pays to do.

Solo 1 (bass/flute)
Alternate D & C, then end on Asus2

Verse 3:
  G
I think I enjoyed all my problems, where I did not get nothing for free.
    F         C           G             F          C         G
Oh, I'm going back to the family, doing nothing is bothering me.

Verse 4:
     G
I'll get a train back to the city.  The soft life is getting me down.
        F         C            G                F             C         G
There's more fun away from the family, get some action when I roll into town.

Repeat intro lick, then:
Am C D                          C
     Everything I do is wrong.  What the hell was I thinking?
     D                                C
     Phone keeps ringing all day long, I got no time for thinking.
     G                     Bb                    C                     D
     And every day has the same old way, they're giving me too much to do.
