    Stevens Might Die Tonight PDF

    Uploaded by

    Harvest le Guitariste
    This song expresses frustration with being told to work hard just to end up in a job like the person telling them to work hard. The singer does not want to blindly follow that advice and instead worries that they might die that very night instead of finding the promised job. In just 3 lines, the song questions being forced to say yes or sink low just because someone says so, and rejects the advice to look ahead and be wise when the present circumstances could lead to dying that night.

    But I might die tonight (Cat Stevens)

    D C
    I don't want to work away
    D C
    Doing just what they all say
    D C
    "Work hard boy and you'll find
    D C
    One day you'll have a job like mine"

    A G
    'Cause I know for sure
    A G
    Nobody should be that poor
    A G
    To say yes or sink low
    A G
    Because you happen to say so, say so, you say so

    D C
    I don't want to work away
    D C
    Doing just what they all say
    D C
    "Work hard boy and you'll find
    D C
    One day you'll have a job like mine", job like mine, a job like mine"

    A G
    "Be wise, look ahead
    A G
    Use your eyes" he said
    A G
    "Be straight, think right
    A C A
    But I might die tonight!"
