Buckle Down
(Transcribed by Jim McGuire)


This song can be played in various chords.
I play it in either 'C' or 'A' depending on the mood I'm in.


There's a hole in my pocket and some mending to be done
A                                          
And the wells out of water praise the rain and curse the sun
A                                                          E
Curse the rain in the flood as I go swimming downtown
           A
But there's work to be done so buckle down
             D          E                 A

Buckle down everybody everybody buckle down
A
Buckle down everybody buckle down
                               E
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around 
A                               
But there's work to be done so buckle down
       D                 E                 A


Same chords from now on 

Oh my boats run aground and the crew is drunk below
and I blew out my sail and now I'm waiting for a tow
Gonna whistle up the wind and then I'll buy the crew around
But there's work to be done so buckle down


Buckle down everybody bucka bucka buckle down
Buckle down everybody buckle down
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around 
But there's work to be done so buckle down


If you need a little money go get some buckle down
I f your cars out of gas it just won't run
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down

If your clothes are getting shabby go get some buckle down
If you're getting kind of flabby you better run
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down

Slow this next bit down

There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so .......Buckle Down
