verse 1 
                 G 
I want to lay my brushes down 
          C        G    C 
And put my pallet away 
           G 
Take off my smock 
    C                  F   G 
And take off my beret 
                      C 
I want to call it a day 


verse 2 
                   G 
For the sun’s gone down 
     C               G       C 
It’s time to light a candle 
           G 
Eight hours straight 
   C                       F   G 
Is just what I can handle 
                      C 
After that it doesn’t pay 


verse 3 
   G 
So, serve up the cheese 
         C 
With the crackers and the wine 
          Am 
I want to rid my mouth 
                Em    G 
Of the taste of turpentine 


verse 4 
          Adim7        Ab 
I want to get a little drunk 
C            D     C 
Fatten up my head 
          F 
Find me a good book 
    C                 Am   D7   G 
And take that book to bed 
                            C 
And read until the break of day

Bridge 
Ab       G              C                  Cm 
Painting ain’t the only thing I like to do 
N.C.            D 
I like to dance 
N.C.         G 
Even like to sing 
      C 
Don’t you? Don’t you? 


Verse 5 
         G 
So, come up to my attic 
          C 
If you’re happening by 
            Am 
And when my work’s all done 
       Em       G 
I will show you why 


Verse 6 
Adim7                 Ab 
First, we’ll drink to your health 
C                   D     C 
Then we’ll drink to mine 
                  F 
Who knows what'll happen 
        C               Am    D7   G 
When we finish off that wine 
                   C        D7   G 
That’s all I gotta say 
                          C 
Maybe we’ll make a little hay
