Working Mans Ph D

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

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

As a matter of fact I'd like to set

A few more people should be pullin'

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

[Chorus]

Now there ain't no shame in a job
