[D] [A]
[E]
[A] All around [D] I hear the sound [A] of money
But I ain't got [E] a nickel to my name
And everywhere I [D] look I see temptation
She stands on every [E] corner and calls my [A] name
Now won't you [D] tell me if you can
Cause life's [A] so hard on the stand
Why's the [E] rich man busy dancing
While [A] the poor man plays the [A] band
Oh [D] they're killing me
[A] Oh I'm killing me
[E] Lord have mercy on the working [A]
man
Uncle Sam's [D] got his hands in [A] my pockets
And he helps himself each [E] time he needs [A] a dime
Them politicians [D] treat me like [A] a mushroom
Cause they feed me bubble [E] and keep me in [A] the blind
Now won't [D] you tell me if you can
Cause life's [A] so hard on the stand
Why's [E] the rich man busy dancing
While [A] the poor man plays the band
Oh [D] they're killing me

Hey St.
Peter [D] look down for [A] a minute
And see this [E] little man about [A] to drown
There's quicksand [D] all around and [A] man I'm in hell
Please help me up [E] Lord cause I'm [A] going down
Now [D] won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's [A] so hard on the stand
[E] Why's the rich man busy dancing
While [A] the poor man plays the band
Oh [D] they're killing me
Oh [A] I'm killing me
[E] Lord have mercy on the [A] working man
Won't [D] you tell me if you can
Cause life's [A] so hard on the stand
Why's [E] the fat man busy dancing
While [A] the thin man plays the band
Oh [D] they're killing [G] me
[D] [A] Oh I'm killing me
[E] Lord have mercy on the [A] working man
[E] Please Lord have mercy on the working [A] man
Ah tell them how it is
