Working Mans Dollar

 A  G  D  A  G  D


[Verse 1]
A                            
Well, I'm just a Workin' Man's 
         G
Dollar
D
In the pocket of his old blue jeans
A                                  G
I ain't like my Wall Street brother
D
He's in a bank so shiny and clean
A                                G
Well, I'm faded and I'm wrinkled
D
Tattered and stained with sweat


[Bridge 1]
 A                             
But I'm the 1st one called when 
         G             D
Uncle Sam Needs a hand with the
              A  G  D
National Debt


[Verse 2]
A                              G
I've been wages for the farm hand
D
For drivin' an old John Deere
A                                  G
I've been laid on a bar in a tavern
D
To buy a workin' man an ice-cold 
beer
A                              
I've been tipped to a truck-stop 
          G
waitress

D
Taped where I was torn


[Bridge 2]
        A                      G
And in the hand of a child I was 
laid on a plate
         D                 A A A A A
In a church on Sunday morn


[Chorus]
G
They say I'm the root of all evil
 D
I bring lust, power and greed
 C                                
But this Workin' Man's Dollar only 
G
buys the things
                          A    G   
A workin' man really needs
D    A     G     D



[Verse 3]
A                            
Well, they say I'm worth about 
             G
fifty-cents
 D
In this modern inflated age
A                                
But don't tell that to the young man
G
 slavin'
D
To make it on a minimum wage
A                            G
Or that single workin' mother
 D
She's been scapin' to make ends meet


[Bridge 3]
          A
To make a house a home
       G
Keep food on the table
     D                          A 
And shoes on her baby's feet
  G   D

         A                         G
Well, I know my days are numbered
              D
I'm gettin' threadbare and wearin' 
thin
           A                       
And they'll replace me with another
 G

          D
But I'd do it all again
              A                    
Cuz I've seen this great big 
  G
country
               D
Passed from hand to callused hand
          A                        
And I've got to say that I'm mighty 
G
proud
              D                 A 
That I belong to a workin' man
A A A A



[Chorus]
G
They say I'm the root of all evil
        D
I bring lust, power and greed
              C                    
But this Workin' Man's Dollar only 
G
buys the things
