Working Mans Ph D

A                    C              D         C
You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
  A        C              D       C
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
 A             C          D        C
A long, hard day, sure ain't much fun
 A                           C             D            C
But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
D
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
  E                        D      D C A
You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D
  A                         C              D           C
With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
  A                         C               D          C
You build the things that really make the world go around
  A                   C             D         C
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts, for years
  A                  C               D        C
You bet your bottom dollar, it was made right here
  D
With pride, honor and dignity
  E                      D      D C A
From a man with a working man's Ph.D

[Chorus]
 D
Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
 A
From driving a nail to driving a truck
 D
As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
 E
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
 D
If you wanna cram course in reality
 E                       D       D C A
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D

[Verse]
 A                            C          D            C
When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
 A                     C          D       C
There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
 A                 C           D          C
You'll face yourself at the end of the day
 A              C           D            C
And be damn proud of whatever you've made
 D
Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
 E                              D       D C A
But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D

[Chorus]
D
Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
A
From driving a nail to driving a truck
D
As a matter of fact, I'd like to set things straight
E
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
D
If you wanna cram course in reality
E                         D      D C A
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D
