Mercy On The Working Man

A            D                 A
All around I hear the sound of money
                  E            A
But I ain't got a nickel to my name
                 D         
And everywhere I look I see 
     A
temptation
                    E              
She stands on every corner and 
     A
calls my name


CHORUS
              D
Now won't you tell me if you can
                A
Cause life's so hard to understand

          E
Why's the rich man busy dancin'
          A
While the poor man pays the band
           D               A
Oh they're billing me, for killing 
me
E                              A
Lord have mercy on the workin' man

A               D           
Uncle Sam's got his hand in my 
   A
pockets
                          E      
And he helps himself each time he 
         A
needs a dime
                 D              
Them politicians treat me like a 
 A
mushroom
                            E      
Cause they feed me bull and keep me
        A
 in the blind

(Repeat CHORUS)

A             D               A
Hey St. Peter look down for a minute
                    E           
And see this little man about to 
 A
drown
                       D           
There's quicksand all around and 
      A
man I'm in it
                  E             
Please help me up Lord cause I'm 
       A
goin' down
