Hard-Working Man

          C#m
When that whistle blows, sweet 
relief to my ear
   A                 E
I drive back home to you
      G#                    C#m
And I pray "Lord, send me a sign."
F#                           G#
"That you're coming soon, to ease my
 worried mind."
        C#m
When my car door slams, you greet me
 on the porch
    A                         E
And bring me some soup from a can
G#                               
Oh, I need my strength cause I'm 
F#
going out again
     C#m      A           
It's hard out there for the 
  F#   G#      C#m
hard-working man


[verse 2]

    C#m
The grind is hard, son, and I won't 
let you loose

        A                   E
Have to sacrifice time like me
        G#                     C#m
But I'm working my hardest for you
F#                             G#
Want you to stay in school and make 
your family proud
       C#m
I will try, I will try, son, to make
 up for lost time
    A                    E
But bills must always be paid
G#                           
But don't you worry none about 
  F#
lending a hand
           C#m      A             
Cause it's hard out there for the 
F#   G#      C#m
hard-working man

[verse 3]

      C#m
I'm a sinner, Lord, beyond repair
          A                        
And these hands are replacements 
  E
for you
       G#                         
So I'm praying, "Forgive me these 
C#m
crimes."
F#                                
Cause you say that you'll provide 
         G#
and that vengeance is mine
    C#m
But times are tough, the pay is not 
enough
        A                    E
And I'm walking that line of doubt
G#                                
So it's time to draw that line 
         F#
deep in the sand
           C#m      A             
Cause it's hard out there for the 
F#   G#      C#m
hard-working man
