[Intro]

| C   F   |
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am          Dm
  Times are hard
       G                 C
You’re afraid to pay the fee
       F             Bb
So you find yourself somebody
        C              G
Who can do the job for free
 
F        Am            Dm
When you need a bit of lovin’
           G             C
Cause your man is out of town
           F               Bb
That’s the time you get me runnin’
        C             Dm
And you know I’ll be around
                     |3/4  |
 
[Chorus]
 
C       F               Am             Bb
  I’m a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
C         F             Am            Bb
  I don’t wanna do your dirty work no more
C       F               Am             Bb
  I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
 
C   F
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am        Dm
Light the candle
        G             C
Put the lock upon the door
         F                  Bb
You have sent the maid home early
       C              G
Like a thousand times before
 
         Am            Dm
Like the castle in its corner
     G        C
In a medieval game
      F            Bb
I foresee terrible trouble
      C                  Dm
And I stay here just the same
                         |3/4  |
 
[Chorus]
 
C       F               Am             Bb
  I’m a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
C         F             Am            Bb
  I don’t wanna do your dirty work no more
C       F               Am             Bb
  I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

C       F               Am             Bb
  I’m a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
C         F             Am            Bb
  I don’t wanna do your dirty work no more
C       F               Am             Bb
  I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
