Chords for Workin' Man Blues by Merle Haggard

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's a big job, just getting by with nine kids and a wife _
But I've been a working man, dang near all my life
And I'll keep on [Db] working, _ as long as my two hands are fit to use
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ I'll drink my beer at the tavern, [Db] sing a little bit of these working [Ab] man blues _ _ _ _
_ I'll keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day
I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my page I'll go [Db] back working
_ Some Monday morning I'm right back [Ab] with the crew _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] I'll drink a little beer that evening, [Db] sing a little [Abm] bit of these working man [Ab] 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
I'll [Db] go back working, _ gotta buy my kids a brand new [Ab] pair of shoes _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] I'll drink a little beer in the [Db] tavern, cry a little [Abm] bit of these working man [Ab] blues
Here comes that working man _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ Well hey, hey, the working man, working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, and that's one place I won't be
And [Db] I'll keep on working, _ as long as my two hands are fit [Ab] to use _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] I'll drink my beer in the tavern, [Db] sing a little bit [Abm] of these working man [Ab] blues
This song's for the working man _ _ _ _ _ _ _
