Workin' Man Blues

D  
It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife            
I been a working man dang near all my life  
        G                                       D  
I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use  
     A7  
I'll drink my beer in a tavern  
                           G           D  
Sing a little bit of these working man blues 
  
I keep my nose on the grindstone I work hard every day  
Might get a little tired on the weekend after I draw my pay 
                 G  
But I'll go back working come Monday morning  
                        D  
I'm right back with the crew 
     A7  
I'll drink a little beer that evening  
                           G           D  
Sing a little bit of these working man blues 
 
Sometimes I think about leaving do a little bumming around  
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town 
              G                                               D  
But I go back working I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes 
     A7  
Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern 
                          G           D  
Cry a little bit of these working man blues 
 
 D  
Hey hey the working man the working man like me 
I ain't never been on welfare that's one place I won't be 
              G                                       D  
Cause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use 
  A7  
I drink a little beer in a tavern 
                           G           D  
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
