	        G                  Em                   
I got the hungrys for your love  
         A7                D7    G 
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line 


                                  Em     
Well I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back  
        C       D      G 
And an old two button suit 
          C                     D 
I walked out on my job about a week ago  
             G               D       G 
And now I'm sleepin' in a telephone booth 


                                Em 
But I'm a gonna be the richest guy around  
     C       D          G 
The day you say you're mine 
                   Em                    
I got the hungrys for your love  
        A7               D7      G 
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line 



Well when I first saw you babe  
you nearly made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac 
I knew at a glance that it was you for me  
And I had to have your love by heck 

I'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go  
I got nothin' to lose but my time 
I got the hungrys for your love  
and I'm waitin' in your welfare line 


Well you made me the top dog on your hill  
and I was overjoyed 
But it didn't take long till the thrill was gone  
I joined the ranks of the unemployed 

Now I'm right back where that I started from  
but that ain't gonna change my mind 
I got the hungrys for your love  
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line 

Yeah I'm waitin' in your welfare line  
gimme a hand out 
I'm waitin' in your welfare line
