Standard (EADGBE)

Chords: Db5 X 5 7 7 X X

I'm so sick, sick, sick and tired,

Of working just to be retired.

I don't want to get that far,

I don't want your company car.

Promotions ain't my thing,

Name badges are not interesting.

It's much easier for me see,

To stay at home with Richard and Judy.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

(Same chords as first verse)

I'm fed up of early mornings

Wake up calls are getting boring round here

Feet dragging on the pavement

The same people with the same arrangement

Irony can be quite funny

You making other people money

My working day has just begun

Its not exactly what I would call fun.

I want to wake up in the afternoon,

With daytime TV and my favourite tunes

Cos it is much easier for me

To stay at home with Richard and Judy.

(Chorus x2)

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Solo/Instrumental: (Sorry have not worked out solo yet,

play chords over the top, mainly Db5 and Gb)

(Same chords for verse)

Saturday is your only highlight

When you go out and live the highlife

Meeting up with other people

Your interaction with the weak and feeble

At least when all is said and done

You wouldn't be the only one

To be a slave to the modern wage

Your crappy weekend is your only escape.

I want to wake up in the afternoon,

With daytime TV and my favourite tunes

Cos it is much easier for me

To stay at home with Richard and Judy.

(Chorus x2)

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.

Away away oh, oh oh, away from here.
