KEY: C - D LEAD GUITAR INTRO F C G C F C
1 C
IT WAS A QUARTER OF NINE ON A SUMMER'S NIGHT
5 G
AS I DROVE TO OUR LOCAL BAR
5 G
AS I WALKED IN CHARLEY GAVE ME A GRIN
1 C
AS HE SAT MY DRINK ON THE BAR
1 C
AND THE WAITRESS MARIE KINDA SMILED AT ME
C7 4 F
AS I LOOKED OUT ACROSS THE ROOM
4 F 1 C 5 G
THEN YOU WALKED IN MY HEART TOOK A SPIN
5 G 1 C
AS THE JUKEBOX PLAYED THIS TUNE

5 G 1 C
WORKIN ON A SHOESTRING AND A PRAYER
C7 4 F
HOPIN THAT YOU'D STILL CARE
4 F 1 C 5 G
FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME LOVIN SOMEONE LIKE YOU
5 G 1 C 4 F 1 C 5 G
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
1 C C 7 4 F
NOW EVEN CHARLEY COULD SEE WHAT YOU WERE DOIN TO ME
AS YOU LOOKED MY WAY THE MUSIC WOULD PLAY THE SAME MELODY

WORKIN ON A SHOESTRING AND A PRAYER....
(INSTRAMENTAL INTO MOD. UP TO D)
1 D 4 G
NOW MY HOPE HAS JUST DIED IN WALKS THIS GIRL TO YOUR SIDE
WITH A RING ON HER HAND YOU ARE HER MAN & NOW MY HEART CRIES

WORKIN ON A SHOESTRING AND A PRAYER I KNOW EVERYTHING IN LIFE'S NOT FAIR BUT I'LL TURN THIS AROUND WITH MY FEET ON THE GROUND AND GO ON WITH MY LIFE
I WILL TURN THIS AROUND WITH MY FEET ON THE GROUND AND GO ON WITH MY LIFE.
