Big Paycheck - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

Most of this song uses "shuffle chords," somewhat randomly, so I hope I
have made some
sense out of it.

The opening A chords are at the fifth fret:

A - 577655

But I play the rest of the chords in open position:

A - x02220
D - xx0232
E - 022100

Of course you won't play the full chords most of the time, since it's a
shuffle.

A

                                         A
I bought a scooter and I rented a shack
                                       A
Out in the sun by the railroad tracks
                                       A
I got a job and it's breaking my back
                                             (A shuffle)
Working working working for the big payback

Hey, alright

A                  D       A
I keep working and working out
                        E         A
I keep slimming (?) and jumping about
                  D        A
I keep moving and doing my thing
                              E         A
Working working working and I don't get paid (?)

            D
Well it's a wham bam thank you ma'am
A
God damn look out Sam
(A)
Long dead fainted (?) down the track
(A)
Got your neck in the noose your hands behind your back
                                        E      A
And I'm working working working for the big payback

(A)                   D  A
Alright, work me boy

My boss does all day long what I don't know (?)
Throw me a wrench and says go Mojo go
All day long he does a diddy whack whack
While I'm working working working for the big payback

Chorus

                            D  A
Alright, yeah, I'm working
                            E  A
I'm working in the hot sun

I quit the job mister ain't going back
I got enough for some (???)
I work the alleys late at night night
Working working working working
Working working working for the big payback

Chorus

             D  A
I'm working
                                    E      A
I'm working working working for the big payback
             D  A
I'm working
                                    E      A
I'm working working working for the big payback
                    E      A
I'm working for the big payback

(Hit A some more and end)
