Intro
RIFF 'A'
(Verse 1)
B A
No matter how hard that I try no one seems to let me by
E B
And I don't know how much I can take
B A
Cause every step I take in life gets a little harder
E B
But I'm gonna be alright at the end of the day
A B
I bust my back for every dollar that I make
A F#
When the weekend comes you'd better get out of my way
(chorus)
B A
Cause it's time to unwind, gonna settle my nerves
E A
Gonna do what this boy, this boy deserves
B A
I've been working all week, set me free
F#
A B A
And it's Friday, send a shot my way
E A
Gonna get up and drink another night away
B A E
I'm feeling alright, gonna do it all night
A RIFF A
Gonna make a little noise
RIFF 'A' Again - Accompanied by Short Solo
(Verse 2)
B A
Now I wasn't born a rich mans son but I'll be the first to tell everyone
E B
That I'm proud of the way I was raised
B A E
You'll never catch me in a Gucci suit, I'll be in my cowboy boots
E B
And these old torn jeans everyday
A B A
I bust my back for every dollar that I make
A F#
When the weekend comes you'd better get out of my way
(chorus)
B A
Cause it's time to unwind, gonna settle my nerves

I think Matt plays a guitar tuned down half step so he plays a C Bb F chord
progression, but this is the same key as the recording.
