I'm Up To My Neck In I.O.U
G D
For twenty-two days I�ve stood in the welfare line
D7 G
Without an education a job was hard to find
G7 C
And up in front of me were ten thousand plus nine
G D G
And I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.�s and down to my last dime
G D
I tried to sell some pencils on the street
D7 G
But found my luck to sell was just weak
G7 C
I�m ashamed to have to pretend that I am blind
G D G G7
But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.�s and down to my last dime
D G
Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.�s, I owe everybody in town
A A7 D
Everyday I say I�m getting on up put I keep going down
And I�ve signed every paper in town that I could sign
But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.�s and down to my last dime
Well the internal revenue department is having fits
They claim I underpaid them by six pence
If I wound up in court I�ll serve out ninety-nine
Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.�s and down to my last dime
Yes I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.�s and down to my last dime
