Hard Working Man

(intro)  A

                       A
    I'm a hard workin' man, I wear a
 steel hard hat,
           D
    I can ride, rope, hammer and 
paint,
        A
    do things with my hands that 
most men can't.
       E
    I can't get ahead no matter how 
hard I try,
                   A               
    I'm getting         really good
                      A
 at barely getting by.

                       A
    Got everything I own by the 
sweat of my brow,
              D
    from my four-wheel drive to my 
cowboy boots,
A
    I owe it all to my blue-collar 
roots.
                   E
    Feel like I'm workin' overtime 
on a runaway train,

                   A
    I've got to        bust loose 
from this ball and chain.

       D        C              
I'm a hard,         hard-workin' 
   A
man,
            E                    
I've got it all on the line for a 
                      A     A7
piece of the promised land.
        D           C           
And I'm burnin' my candle at both 
   A
ends,
                       E           
about the only way to keep the fire
                          A
 going is to out-run the wind.

                   A
    Come Friday night I like to 
party hard,
D
    I carry on with the Cadillac 
cuties,
               A
    spend my whole week's pay on 
some weekend beauty.
     E
    Come Monday morning I'm the 
first to arrive,
             A
    I ain't nothin' but business 
from nine to five.

       D        C              
I'm a hard,         hard-workin' 
   A
man,
            E                    
I've got it all on the line for a 
                       A    A7
piece of the promised land.
        D           C           
And I'm burnin' my candle at both 
   A
ends,
                       E           
about the only way to keep the fire
                          A
 going is to out-run the wind.

                     E           
    I can't wait to get up in the 
                               A
mornin', and do it all over again,
                 E          
    well, I'm a hard-livin', 
              A   D A
hard-workin' man.
    And women, too.
