E B C#m A  3x
 
E             B             C#m       A
I'll never be your beast of burden; 
E                  B         C#m        A
my back is broad but it's a hurting 
E     B                  C#m              A          E
All I want is for you to make love to me 

I'll never be your beast of burden; 
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting 
All I want is for you to make love to me 

 
         A                                    E
Am I hard enough? ,  Am I rough enough? 
          A.                           E                          B
Am I rich enough?  I'm not too blind to see 
 

I'll never be your beast of burden, 
so let's go home and draw the curtains 
Music on the radio, come on baby make sweet love to me 
 

Am I hard enough? Am I rough enough? 
Am I rich enough? I'm not too blind to see   Oh, little sister
 

E                          B               C#m             A
        Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl 

E                          B               C#m             A
E                          B               C#m             A
E                          B               C#m             A
E                           B                   C#m                             A
You're a pretty, pretty, pretty pretty such a pretty girl 
                E                      B                       C#m                A
You're a pretty, pretty, such a pretty, pretty, pretty, girl 
E               B        C#m     A           E
Come on baby please, please, please 
 

I'll tell ya You can put me out, on the street 
Put me out, with no shoes on my feet 
But, put me out, put me out, put me out of misery 
 
Yeah, all your sickness, I can suck it up 
Throw it all at me, I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby, that I don't understand
You keep on telling me,  I ain't your kind of man 

Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby Ain't I tough enough? 
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough  Ooh! Ooh! Please 
 
I'll never be your beast of burden 
I'll never be your beast of burden 
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be 
 
I'll never be your beast of burden; 
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting . . .
