[Instrumental Intro | mid-tempo shuffle | harmonica lead] [Verse 1 | haunted | lonely male vocal] Clock on the wall say half past three Nobody left in this town but me Sweep up the bottles, turn down the lights Been working this graveyard shift all my life [Chorus | soulful | belted] Graveyard shift blues, can't shake em loose Burning both ends of a rope that ain't long Graveyard shift blues, what's the use Everyone's sleeping and I'm still going strong [Verse 2 | haunted] Seen every kind of trouble walk through that door Rich man, broken man, all hit the floor I pour em a drink and I send em away Same story different face every day [Guitar Solo | call and response | stinging tone] [Chorus | soulful | belted] Graveyard shift blues, can't shake em loose Burning both ends of a rope that ain't long Graveyard shift blues, what's the use Everyone's sleeping and I'm still going strong [Outro | slow fade | harmonica only] Graveyard shift… graveyard shift blues…
