G G/B G/E G/D
I was digging in the yard today
C C/B Am
When a letter came from Southampton way
Keep on working
Keep on working
G G/B G/E G/D
I must admit I was a bit in the red
C C/B Am
But if you never have pleasure then you could be dead
Keep on working
Keep on working
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on working
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on working

But there’s one thing
They can’t take away
Hear the sea sing
See a smiling face
I think we’re OK
Though we all could be mad
That’s what they say
Am D [LINK 1: see above]
We just can’t all be bad

G G/B G/E G/D
I got something now to think about
C C/B Am
I’ll work all day but not to pay it out
Keep on working
Keep on working
G G/B G/E G/D
Don’t care if they say where a dying race
C C/B Am
I’d rather be here than any other place
Keep on working
Keep on working
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on working
[G/B]Keep [G/B]on working

And there’s another whirl
They can’t ever touch
Just need a boy and girl
It don’t cost you much
And if your luck is in
You might have kids at play
To make you laugh and sing
Am D [LINK 1: see above]
When you’re old and gray

Bb [MIDDLE 8: see above]
