Sadie The Cleaning Lady Chords & Lyrics - John Farnham

[C] [G]

[C]Sadie the cleaning [G]lady
With [G]trusty scrubbing brush and pail of [C]water
Worked her [F]fingers to the bone for the [C]life she had at h[A7]ome
Prov[D7]iding at the same time for her d[G7]aughter

Ah [C]Sadie the cleaning [G]lady
Her [G]aching knee's not getting any [C]younger
Well her [F]red detergent hands have for [C]years not held a m[A7]ans
And [D7]time would find her hard in spite of [G7]hunger

Scrub your [C]floors, do your chores, dear old [Dm7]Sadie
Looks as [G7]though you'll always be a cleaning [C]lady
Can't affo[C]rd to get bored, dear old [Dm7]Sadie
Looks as [G7]though you'll always be a cleaning [C]lady [G#7]

Ah, [C#]Sadie the cleaning [G#]lady
Her [G#]female mind would find a way of [C#]trapping
Though as [F#]gentle as a lamb, Sam the [C#]elevator man [A#7]
So [D#7]she could spend the night by TV [G#7]napping

Ah, Sadie the cleaning lady

Her aching knee's not getting any younger

Well, her red detergent hands have for years not held a mans

And time would find her hard in spite of hunger

Ah, scrub your [D]floors, do your chores, dear old [Em7]Sadie
Looks as [A7]though you'll always be a cleaning [D]lady
Can't aff[D]ord to get bored dear old [Em7]Sadie
Looks as t[A7]hough you'll always be a cleaning [D]lady [A#7]

Ah, [D#]Sadie the cleaning [A#]lady
Her [A#]Sam was what she got for crying and [D#]singing
To her [G#]solo and dismay, she's still [D#]working til this d[C7]ay
Her [F7]Sam turned out to be another [A#7]singer

Ah, scrub your [D#]floors, do your chores, dear old [Fm7]Sadie
Looks as [A#7]though you'll always be a cleaning [D#]lady
Can't af[D#]ford to get bored dear old [Fm7]Sadie
Looks as [A#7]though you'll always be a cleaning [D#]lady
