Left for work this mornin', without any warnin' 
                                      B      A-Bb
That little tiny gage said it's that time, 
   B                 A-Bb     B                       A
So I started lookin'      but I just kept on bookin', 
Bb    B                                E 
As I read the prices there upon those signs 

E
Soon I knew my luck was out, my tank was dry and just about 
                               A
Put me on my feet and send me cryin', 
       B                 A   Bb    B                   A
So I pulled up to a pump   feeling as dumb as a stump, 
Bb            B                             E 
Grabbed that nozzle and bent over one more time 

E                                          A
It's a pain in my gas, it's killin' me so fast 
        E                             B 
All my hard earned money just thrown away, 
            E                      A 
Blame bin Laden or Sudan, Iraq or Iran 
       E                                 B
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass, 
                                     E
There seems to be a real pain in my gas 


Instrumental/Whistle: E-B-(A-Bb-B)-(A-Bb-B)-(A-Bb-B)-A-E

So if you see me thumbin', a-beggin' or a-bummin' 
                                     B   
Ponder these three questions that I ask, 
A Bb       B                        A  Bb  B             
 Who's to blame for all my sorrow does relief lie in tomorrow, 
A   Bb      B                            E
In the meantime could I borrow a little cash 

                            E                        A
'Cause there's a pain in my gas, it's killin' me so fast 
        E                             B
All my hard earned money just thrown away, 
             E                     A
Blame bin Laden or Sudan, Iraq or Iran 
       E                                 B 
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass, 
                                     E
There seems to be a real pain in my gas 

E         B                                E
Help me doctor, there's a deep pain in my gas 
E       B                                 E
Mr. President, there's a real pain in my gas
