[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Tryin' to make a livin'
it's [G]harder every day
By the [A]time I see a dollar
just [D]an other bill [A]to pay
[D]I got a wife and family and
the [G]bills are pilin' high
[A]These days it ain't easy for
a working man to get [D]by
[G]I can't help but wonder

[Verse 2]
[G]
what a man suppose [D]to do
I got those [A]hard breaking escalatin' high
inflation [D]blues
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D][A]
By the [D]time I get the payday the
[G]money's already gone
[A]Someone's eatin' chicken
[D]all I git [A]is the bones
[D]My wife needs a new coat the [G]kids
need clothes to school
[A]We're all out of grocery's and
it's Tuesday after[D]noon
Well it could [G]drive a man to drinkin'

[Verse 4]
[G]
but I can't afford [D]the booze
I got those [A]hard breaking escalatin' high
inflation [D]blues
[A]

[Verse 5]
[D][A]
The [D]cost of livin' keeps goin' up
the [G]taxes ain't goin' down
[A]I'm just treadin' water
to [D]tryin' not to drown
[A]Mr [D]Courter I know you're up there
and [G]I should could use a hen
So [A]won't you please have mercy
on a common working [D]man
[G]I just keep on tryin'

[Verse 6]
doin' all that I can [D]do
I got those [A]hard breaking escalatin' high
inflation blues (yo[D]del)
