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#                               F#
Oh, I need my strength cause I'm going out again
     C#m      A             F#   G#      C#m
It's hard out there for the 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#                             F#
But don't you worry none about lending a hand
           C#m      A             F#   G#      C#m
Cause it's hard out there for the hard-working man

[verse 3]

      C#m
I'm a sinner, Lord, beyond repair
          A                          E
And these hands are replacements for you
       G#                         C#m
So I'm praying, "Forgive me these crimes."
F#                                         G#
Cause you say that you'll provide 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#                                         F#
So it's time to draw that line deep in the sand
           C#m      A             F#   G#      C#m
Cause it's hard out there for the hard-working man
