[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

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
