Early in the morning
 
Going to meet a man
                 Csus2
Wants a truck unloading
     Csus4   C
For cash-in-hand
 
You don’t ask questions
 
When there’s nothing in the bank
                 Csus2
Got to feed the kids
             Csus4         C
And put the diesel in the tank
 
 
Bacon, egg and sausage
 
Double chips and beans
                   G
Tea and bread and butter
       F             C
And a day on the machines
 
Christmas is coming
 
With the final demand
              G
What you got going
     F       C
For cash in hand

Early in the morning
 
Where the trucks all stand
                           G
I’ve got a pocket full of folding
       F             C
And a pair of jerry cans
 
I’ve got to keep it going
 
They’re laying off at Ford
                    G
I’m only one step ahead
       F      C
Of my room and board
