[VERSE 1:]
            G                     
There was a whole lot of money he 
F        C       G        F  C
said I'd soon be earning
            G                      
There was a whole lot of papers 
    F      C    D
that I didn't understand
            G                      
There was a whole lot of talk about
 F            C      G        F  C
 keeping some beacon burning
        G                      
And the next thing I knew I was 
 F       C       G     F  C
working for the man


[VERSE 2:]
          G                       
It took a whole lot of shoving to 
F         C     G        F  C
keep that motor turning
          G                        
It took a whole lot of breaking my 
F                 C      D
back 'til I could hardly stand
          G                        
It took a whole lot of keeping that
 F        C      G        F  C
 midnight candle burning
           G                    
That's the lesson you learn when 
        F       C       G
you're working for the man

Last in line and working for the man


[VERSE 3:]
        G                         
I did a whole of thinking, how to 
F        C      G        F  C
get them tables turning
        G                        
I did a whole lot of acting, like 
     F         C      D
I'm doing the best I can
        G                     
I did a whole lot of biting my 
 F              C       G         
tongue just to keep on learning
F  C

           G                    
That's the lesson you learn when 
        F       C       G
you're working for the man

[VERSE 4:]
        G                       
I got a whole lot to show for it 
 F         C     G        F  C
since the day I started
      G                      
I got lines on my face, I got 
 F        C     D
blisters on my hand
      G                     F     
I got debts to the company, but I 
      C       G        F  C
don't get downhearted
  G                        F       
I still got the privilege, working 
C       G    F  C
for the man
  G                        F       
I still got the privilege, working 
C       G    F  C
