       C            Em
you’re up with the sunrise
    F(bar chord)   G(bar chord)
and down when the work’s been done
     C           Em
with excellence industry
F         G(bar chord)
diligence naturally
Am      C          F
i would like to be you
G          Am         C       F
just for a few habit-forming years
G         Am            C        F     Fm
laziness cuts me like a fine cutlery
C   G      C        F         C      G    C
i need a miracle - someone to help me myself
