(verse 1)
A
When my old man gets to yelling cos I still ain’t got a job
And ma can’t even look at me it’s like I don’t belong
D
Here in the settle-down suburbs drinking lattes at the mall
A
All I hear’s the ticking of that clock hung on the wall
G
It’s like I’m being sucked down
D/F#
Into the hard ground
(chorus)
A D
But it’s all right
A D
You know it’s going to be all right
A D
You know it’s going to be all right
G D/F#
Cos Friday night’s song night get out of that hole
A
Break out that ol’ rock & roll
(intro)
(verse 2)
My grandad rode a tractor til all his seeds were sown
My grandma went to church and helped the old folks in the
home
They went dancing every weekend, said grandkids are the best
Things ain’t been the same round here since we laid those
folks to rest
And now I’m being sucked down
Into the hard ground
(chorus)
But it’s all right
You know it’s going to be all right
You know it’s going to be all right
Cos Friday night’s song night get out of that hole
Break out that ol’ rock & roll

(alt verse)
A A/G A/F# A/e
When I was just a boy my grandad sat me on his knee
A A/G A/F# A/e
Said boy don’t get distracted you know what you need
A A/G A/F# A/e
If the country’s just too far away and you’re sinking in a
hole
A A/G A/F# A/e
What you need is music in your soul
D
So I step up to the microphone counting one two three
A
Play those chords and sing that it’s the country life for me
G
So when I’m being sucked down
D/F#
Into the hard ground
(long chorus)
It’s all right
You know it’s going to be all right
You know it’s going to be all right
Cos Friday night’s song night get out of that hole
Put a little music back in your soul
Listen to the drummer yelling go buddy go
Break out that ol’ rock & roll
(bridge)
A - G D x3
A - G A
