[VERSE 1]
E             B    C#sus4   A
I'll never be your beast of burden,
E          B  C#sus4        A
My back is broad but it's a hurtin’.
E          B  C#sus4          A       E B  C#sus4  A 
All I want is for you to make love to me,
E             B     C#sus4  A
I'll never be your beast of burden.
E               B     C#sus4      A
I've walked for miles my feet are hurtin’,
E          B      C#sus4      A       E
All I want is for you to make love to me. Come on!


[CHORUS 1]
A
Am I hard enough,
     E
Am I rough enough.
     A
Am I rich enough,
    E             A      B
I'm not too blind to see.


[VERSE 2]
E             B    C#sus4   A          
I'll never be your beast of burden,
E           B  C#sus4         A
So let's go home and draw the curtains.
E        B  C#sus4        A       
And put some Music on the radio.
E    B  C#sus4 A
Come on baby   please. I’ll tell ya, one more!


[CHORUS 2]
A
Am I hard enough,
     E
Am I rough enough.
     A
Am I rich enough,
    E             A      B
I'm not too blind to see.

You can put me out.

On the street,
E           B
Now, put me out.

With no shoes on my feet,

Put me out of misery.

I shove it up. 
E            B
Now, chew it all at me,
  C#sus4   A
I swirl it off. 
E                 B
There's one thing baby, 
C#sus4            A    
That you don't understand.
E               B     
Now you keep on telling me, 
       C#sus4             E
Why, I ain't your kind of man.

Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby,
        E
Ain't I tough enough.
        A
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough,
    E       A     B
Now come on baby, please.

I'll never be your beast of burden, no!
E             B    C#sus4   A
I'll never be your beast of burden.
E             B             C#sus4        A                  
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be.
