Working My Way Back Home

D

[Verse 1]
                        C       G 
Working offshore in the driving 
       D
rain and cold
                        C       G 
Pumping the crude up to turn it 
   D
into gold
A                G               
Waiting my turn, trying to call 
          D
you on the phone
            A                    
It's been a long time coming, but 
     G                   D
I'm working my way back home


[Verse 2]
                     C             
Out on the pipeline, burning in the
 G      D
 desert sun
                       C        G 
Me and Mohammed got to get this 
     D
rig to run
        A                      
They're laying me off now, he's 
 G                  D
gonna do it on his own
            A                    
It's been a long time coming, but 
     G                   D
I'm working my way back home

[Chorus]
F            G               D
Nova Scotia, Hong Kong or Bahrain
     F             G              
I've been wherever money runs the 
A
game


[Verse 3]
D                    C          
Sunrise City, in the high steel 
G    D
over town
                                C  
They give you a harness, but it 
  G         D
only slows you down
    A                             
I'm risking my neck, but it's the 
G              D
only life I've known
            A                    
It's been a long time coming, but 
     G                   D
I'm working my way back home

[Verse 4]
D                          C     
One of these days when the Fat 
    G       D
Cat's work is through
                             C     
Me and the boys, we're gonna prove 
     G      D
what we can do
   A                              
We built their world, we're gonna 
G                D
build one of our own
            A                    
It's been a long time coming, but 
     G                   D
I'm working my way back home
            A                    
It's been a long time coming, but 
     G                   D
