Intro: A7 (8 bars) A It's a big job gettin' by with 9 kids and a wife Yeah but I been a workin' man dang near all my life D7 I'll keep on workin?? A Long as my two hands are fit to use E7 I drink my beer at a tavern D7 A And sing a little bit of these workin?? man blues A Well I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day Gettin?? tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay D7 But I go back workin??, A Come Monday mornin?? I'm right back with the crew E7 I drink a little beer that evenin??, D7 A sing a little bit of these workin?? man blues A Sometimes I think about leavin??, do a little bummin?? around Throw my bills out the window catch me a train to another town D7 But I go back workin?? A I got to buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes E7 I drink my beer at a tavern D7 A And cry a little bit of these workin?? man blues Here comes the workin?? man Instrumental solo for one verse A Well hey hey, the workin?? man, the workin?? man like me Never been on welfare, and that's one place he would not be D7 He??d be workin?? A Just as long as his two hands are fit to use E7 Might drink a little beer at a tavern D7 A Sing a little bit of them workin?? man blues This song is for the workin?? man
