Darryl Worley
Capo 4
I Need A Breather
(this is how Darryl plays it in concert)
G C D G
G C
I got a place that I like to slip off to
D G
When everything starts closin in
G C
And I got some ways that the world dont agree with
D G
Yeah, some folks would call it a sin
C G
But I work like a dog and Im good at my job
C D
And I live for a one-day weekend
G C
So Im takin off and I might stay all week
D G
Hell I may never come back again.
Chorus:
C
I Need A Breather, a sweet senorita
G
Writin my name in the sand
D G
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
C
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
G C
Just sit back and take it all in
D C D G
I got a fever and I Need A Breather again.
G C D G
G C
The people at work they think Im a loner
D G
But I need some time to myself
G C
And I dont want to waste my precious vacation
D G
Livin for somebody else
C G
Cause Ill have a drink and I might fall down
C D
And I dont think that theyd understand
G C
I know it all sounds a little bit crazy
D G
Well maybe thats just what I am
Chorus:
C G C D G C D G
G C
Things fell apart down at the office
D G
And Im getting blamed for it all
G C
Ive only been back for a couple of days
D G
And Im already climbin the wall
Chorus2:
C
Hey I Need A Breather, a stiff margarita
G
Bring em fast as you can
D G
Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
C
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
G C
Just kick back and take it all in
D C D G C
I got a fever and I Need A Breather again
D C D G C D G
I got a fever and I Need A Breather again. Yes I Do.
