Lazy Bones
Hoagy Carmichal - sung by Paul Robeson and others - transp. to  C


As (D)long as there's a (Gm)chicken (Bbm)gravy on your (A7)rice
(I suppose) (Bbm)ev'ry(A7)thing is (D)nice (Bbm)
As (D)long as there's a (Gm)water (Bbm)melone on the (A7)bine
(Bbm)Ev'ry(A7)thing is (D)fine

You got no (B7)time to work, you got no time to play
You're (E7)busy doin' nothing all the lifelong (A)day (A7)
But you won't (B7)ever change, no matter what I say
(E7)You just made that (A)way (A7)


(D)Lazy (G)bones, (D)sleeping in the (G)sun
(D)How can you ex(G)pect to get your (D)day's work (D7)done?
You'll (F#7)never get your (C)day's (B7)work (Em)done
You (Bb)never hear a (A7)word I (D)say (A7)

(D)Lazy (G)bones, (D)sleeping in the (G)shade
(D)How can you ex(G)pect to get your (D)corn meal (D7)made?
You'll (F#7)never get your (C)corn (B7)meal (Em)made
(Bb)Sleeping in the (A7)evening (D)shade (D7)

   When them po(G)tatoes need sprayin'
   I know you keep prayin'
   That the (D)bugs fall (A7)off their (D)vine  (D7)                           
   And (G9)when you  go (F#9)fishing
   I (E9)bet you keep (A9)wishing
   The (Em)fish won't grab at your (A)line (A7)

(You know) (D)lazy (G)bones, (D)loafin' all the (G)day
(D)How can you ex(G)pect to make a (D)dime that (D7)way?
You'll (F#7)never make a (C)dime (B7)that (Em)way
You (Bb)never hear a (A7)word I (D)say (Gm - D - Gm - D)
