[C] [B] [Eb] Are you guys ready to [G] go?
Let's do it, man.
[Gm]
[G]
Well, [Gm] it's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife.
But I've been working, man, damn near all my life.
Go [C] back working.
Long as my two hands are [Gm] fit to use.
I [G] [D] drink a little beer in the weekend, [C] stay a little [B] bit of these working [Gm] man blues.
Well, I keep my nose to the grindstone and I work hard every day.
I'm not getting a little tired on the weekend.
When I've drawn [G] my pay, I go [C] back working.
Monday morning, I'm right back with [G] the crew.
[D] I drink a little beer in the tavern and cry [Bb] a little bit of these working [G] man blues.
Well, sometimes I think about leaving, maybe do a little bumming around.
I want to throw my bills out the window, catch a train to some other town.
But I [C] go back [Gm] working.
[C] I've got to buy my kid a brand new pair [G] of shoes.
[D] I drink a little beer in the tavern and [C] cry a little [Bb] bit of these working [G] man blues.
[Gm] Here comes the working man.
