Merle Haggard - "Workin' Man Blues" chords
Start Jamming...
I'll tell you one thing, ain't nothing to this business.
How about Working Man Blues?
[E] Oh, yeah.
[A]
It's a big job getting by with nine kids and a wife.
Yeah, but I've been a working man, damn near all my life.
[D] Long working, long as my two hands are fit to [A] use.
[E] Drink a little beer that evening, [D] and sing a little of them Working Man [A] Blues.
Well, I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day.
Get tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay [D] when I go back working.
Come Monday morning, I'm right back [A] with the crew.
[E] Drink a little beer that evening, [D] and sing a little bit of these Working [Am] Man Blues.
[A] Well, sometimes I feel into a little bumming around.
Pull a bill out the window, catch me a train to another town, but I go [D] back working.
Gotta buy my kids a brand new [A] pair of shoes.
[E] Drink my beer at a tavern, [D] and cry a little bit of them Working [A] Man Blues.
Kick it on down the road, Red.

Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me.
[Am] Never been on welfare, that's one place where I'll be, [D] where I'll be working.
Long as his two hands are [A] fit to use.
[E] Drink a little beer at a tavern, [D] and cry a little bit of them Working [A] Man Blues.
This song goes out for all the working men here this evening.
