Been (Bb)here since the sun went down, be (Eb)here when it comes (Ab)back a round.

Worked all week, it’s time to play.

(Bb)Keep those girls out (Ab)on the floor, (Eb)got ta make ’em wan na come back for more.

Been (Bb)here since the sun went down, be (Eb)here when it comes (Ab)back a round.

Worked all week, it’s time to play.
