You know, (Ab)my old car needs (Eb)wash ing and the (Bb)front yard needs a (Eb)trim.

And the (Ab)tel e phone keeps (Eb)ring ing, and the (F)boss man knows I (Bb)know it’s him.

And the (Ab)bills ain’t gon na (Eb)pay them selves, no (Bb)mat ter an y (Cm)way.

’Cause I (Ab)ain’t in no (Bb)hur ry to day.

There’s noth ing (Ab)wrong with an old (Eb)cane fish ing pole and the (Bb)smell of ear ly (Eb)spring.

Sit down in a fold (Eb)up eas y chair on a (F)qui et shad y (Bb)riv er bank.

Let the (Ab)world go on (Eb)with out me; would n’t (Bb)have it an y oth er (Cm)way.

’Cause I (Ab)ain’t in no (Bb)hur ry to day.

(Ab)Ain’t in no (Bb)hur ry; I’d be a (Eb)fool now to (Cm)wor (G)ry a (Ab)bout all those (Bb)things I can’t (Cm)change.

And the (Ab)time that I (Bb)bor row can (Eb)wait till (Bb)to mor row ’cause I (Ab)ain’t in no (Bb)hur ry to day.
