Blue Collar

Am7
I been down in Pennsylvania,
Dm7                        Am7
Where I was working in the mine.

And I been down in Cincinnati;
Dm7                           Am7
They laid me off the assembly line.
Em7                     
Yeah, they got me looking 
       Dm7
everywhere,
But I ain't too proud of what I 
Am7      Em7
found.
And you can't name where I ain't 
     Am7
been down.
Dm7                               
'Cause there ain't no place I 
       Am7      Em7
ain't been down.

[Verse]
Am7
I was down in Kansas City,
Dm7                            
Where even the blues sell by the 
   Am7
pound

And I been down in New York City, 
brother,
Dm7                           Am7
And that ain't no place to be down.
Em7                               
Yeah, I'm a-looking at the face of
     Dm7
 the children;
You see, we're looking for a higher 
Am7      Em7
ground,

And you can't name where we ain't 
    Am7
been down.
Dm7                               
'Cause there ain't no place we 
        Am7      Em7
ain't been

[Chorus]
        Dm7
We fell down somewhere
                           Am7
Between the cities and the towns.
        Dm7
We went down, I know,
                           Am7
Between the smiles and the frowns.
                           Dm7
And if they call me in the morning,
                          Am7      
I mean, I'd recognize the sound,
Em7

'Cause you can't name where we ain't
      Am7
 been down.
Dm7                                
There ain't no place we ain't been 
Am7      Em7
down.

[Verse]
Am7
Standing in the shadows
Dm7                               
It sho'nuff (sure enough) looks 
   Am7
like rain.

I see the steel-gray clouds above me
Dm7                            Am7
Yeah, well the anguish and the pain.
Em7                               
Yeah, I been looking everywhere 
  Dm7
for peace,
But I swear, there just ain't none 
Am7      Em7
around.
But you can't name where I ain't 
     Am7
been down.
Dm7                               
'Cause there ain't no place I 
       Am7     Em7
ain't been down.

[Chorus]
        Dm7
We been down
                           Am7
Between the cities and the towns.
           Dm7
Yeah, been down somewhere
                           Am7
Between the smiles and the frowns.
                           Dm7
And if they call me in the morning,
                          Am7      
I mean, I'd recognize the sound,
 Em7

'Cause you can't name where I ain't 
     Am7
been down.
Dm7                               
There ain't no place I ain't been 
Am7     Em7
down.
