E 
Left for work this mornin', without any warnin'  
                                      B      A-Bb 
That little tiny gage said it's that time,  
   B                 A-Bb     B                       A 
So I started lookin'      but I just kept on bookin',  
Bb    B                                E  
As I read the prices there upon those signs  

E 
Soon I knew my luck was out, my tank was dry and just about  
                               A 
Put me on my feet and send me cryin',  
       B                 A   Bb    B                   A 
So I pulled up to a pump   feeling as dumb as a stump,  
Bb            B                             E  
Grabbed that nozzle and bent over one more time  

E                                          A 
It's a pain in my gas, it's killin' me so fast  
        E                             B  
All my hard earned money just thrown away,  
            E                      A  
Blame bin Laden or Sudan, Iraq or Iran  
       E                                 B 
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass,  
                                     E 
There seems to be a real pain in my gas

E 
So if you see me thumbin', a-beggin' or a-bummin'  
                                     B    
Ponder these three questions that I ask,  
A Bb       B                        A  Bb  B              
 Who's to blame for all my sorrow does relief lie in tomorrow,  
A   Bb      B                            E 
In the meantime could I borrow a little cash  

                            E                        A 
'Cause there's a pain in my gas, it's killin' me so fast  
        E                             B 
All my hard earned money just thrown away,  
             E                     A 
Blame bin Laden or Sudan, Iraq or Iran  
       E                                 B  
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass,  
                                     E 
There seems to be a real pain in my gas  

E         B                                E 
Help me doctor, there's a deep pain in my gas  
E       B                                 E 
Mr. President, there's a real pain in my gas
