[Verse 1]
E A
If I could make my living going fishing
E B
Then I would make my living with a line and pole
E
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord
A
Buy some working clothes
E
Cause I ain't making money going fishing
B E
Like I'm paid at the factory
[Verse 2]
E A
If I could pay all these bills with my guitar
E B
Then I would pay these bills with some rock and roll
E
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord
A
Buy some working clothes
E
Cause I ain't making money playing guitar
B E
Like I'm paid at the factory
[Chorus]
A
Now if I could (if I could)
E
Then I would (then I would)
F#
Make money doing something that I love
B
I'd thank my lucky stars above
[Verse 3]
E A
If I could just get by loving you dear

Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord

Buy some working clothes

Cause I ain't making money making love

Like I'm paid at the factory
