Working Man's Blues

Verse 1 
--------  

A
 Its a big job just getting by with 
nine kids and a wife,

But I've been a workin' man dang 
near all my life,
                 D
And I'll keep on workin',
As long as my two hands are fit to 
A
use.
     E
I'll drink my beer in a tavern,
D                                 
Sing a little bit of these workin'
     A
 man blues.

Verse 2 
--------  

A
I keep my nose on the grindstone, 
work hard every day.

I might get a little tired on the 
weekend, after I draw my pay,
                 D
But I'll go back workin'
Continues after the ad
Come Monday mornin' I'm right back 
         A
with the crew.
     E
I'll drink a little beer that 
evening,
D                                 
Sing a little bit of these workin'
     A
 man blues.

Verse 3 
--------  

A
Sometimes I think about leavin', 
doing a little bummin' around,

I wanna throw my bills out the 
window, catch a train to another 
town,
                 D
And I'll go back workin'
Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair 
   A
of shoes.
  E
I drink a little beer in a tavern,
D                                 
Cry a little bit of these workin' 
    A
man blues.

Here comes that workin' man...

Verse 4 
--------  

A                             
Well hey, hey, the workin' man, 
                      G   D
workin' man like me,
        A
I ain't never been on welfare, 
that's one place I won't be
               D                   
'Cause I'll be workin', as long as 
                        A
my two hands are fit to use.
     E
I'll drink my beer in a tavern,
D                                 
Sing a little bit of these workin'
     A
 man blues.
