B E B
We'll get ahead someday, we'll get ahead someday
E B E B F B
When the sun comes up and we both cuts down, we'll get ahead someday
B E B F
Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends

But I don't realize till I get home, whan an awful shape we're in

The car's wore out kids need shoes, got a bill from a doctor today
E B F B
The landlord said you'll get out tomorrow if you don't get me some pay
B E B
We'll get ahead someday, we'll get ahead someday
E B E B F B
IF the sun comes up and we both cuts down, we'll get ahead someday
B E B F
The paper says there's a sale downtown, I gotta have some money today

Well there's things at home that's never been used you bought last bargain day
F B F B
Well you go out one Saturday night just spend too much money on wine
E B F B
Well I'LL work hard all week long and I gotta have a little fun sometimes
B E B
We'll get ahead someday, we'll get ahead someday
E B E B F B
If the sun comes up and we both cuts down, we'll get ahead someday
E B E B F B
If the sun comes up and we both cuts down, we'll get ahead someday
