Friday Night Blues (John Conlee)

5    -5   6    -5  5   7
He's been work-in' all week,

 5   -5  6   -5  5  7
he's got men-tal fa-tigue

5   5    -5  6     -5   6     -5
and that old couch sure looks fine

5   -5   5    -4   7
All week he's been gone, 

-4    5    -5  5    -4 7
she's been sit-tin' a-lone

-7   7  -7 7   -7  -6 6   6
slow-ly go-in' out of her mind

5  -5 6     -5  5   7
As he kicks off his shoes 

5   -5  6   -5 5    7
for the six o-clock news

5     -5  -5   -5  6    -6   -5
she's get-tin' all pret-tied up

-6  7     7    -7  -7 -7  -6
oh, she's want-in' to boo-gie,

-6   -6   6   6  6   -5 
he's want-in' to lay there

-5    -5  -5  -5  5   -4    4
she's got the Fri-day Night Blues

CHORUS:
7   -8  8   8   8     8
And the Fri-day Night Blues 

-8   -8  7  7    7
they get in your shoes,

-7  -7   -7   -6 -6  6   -6
and they work to get you down

7   -8  -8    -8    -8-8 7  7    7 -7 -7 -7
Oh, and there ain't a la-dy that I ev-er knew

-6   -6 -7  -6   -6  -6 -6   6  6   6   
who did-n't need her a night on the town

7   -8  8     -8  7   -8
But the hills and the bills 

7   -7 7     -7    -6  -7
and a week's worth of deals

6   -7  -6   -6  -6   6    -6
got him feel-in' more than used

7   -8   -8   -8  -8  -8    7
Oh, he's kick-in' his shoes off, 

7     7   -7   -7    -7
she's put-tin' her's on

-5    -5  -5  -5  5   -4    4
she's got the Fri-day Night Blues

Oh,there once was a time, 
she was top of the line
her nights like teen-age dreams
Now it's op-'ras at noon, 
danc-in' 'round with her broom
talk-in' to her wash-in' ma-chine
Oh, the girl down the street 
says her husband is neat
and she makes it sound so true
Now she's feel-in' lone-ly 
thinks she's the on-ly
One with the Fri-day Night Blues

CHORUS
7   -8  8   8   8     8
And the Fri-day Night Blues 

-8   -8  7  7    7
they get in your shoes,

-7  -7   -7   -6 -6  6   -6
and they work to get you down

7   -8  -8    -8    -8-8 7  7    7 -7 -7 -7
Oh, and there ain't a la-dy that I ev-er knew

-6   -6 -7  -6   -6  -6 -6   6  6   6   
who did-n't need her a night on the town
