Working for the Weekend - Loverboy

(My first submission)
This work is my own interpretation of chords that should work to do the song on
acoustic guitar by oneself. The "riff" chords are optional. I actually start
singing it at half-speed and gradually speed up through the song and the audiences
seem to find it interesting and amusing. Not a song people expect to hear acoustically. :)
Capo +2 for Original Key (of B)
(But if you are not a real decent tenor or a female then I suggest notching it
down like I have it here)
