[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]All
around I [C]hear the sound of [G]money
But I ain't got a [D]nickel to my [G]name
And everywhere I [C]look I
see [G]temptation
She stands on every [D]corner
and calls my name
[G]

[Verse 2]
Now won't you [C]tell me if you can
'Cause life's so [G]hard to understand
Why's the [D]rich man busy dancing
While the [G]poor man pays the band
Oh they're [C]billing me for [G]killing me
[D]Lord have mercy on the working [G]man

[Verse 3]
[G]Uncle Sam's got [C]his hands in my [G]pockets
And he helps himself each
[D]time he needs a [G]dime
Them politicians [C]treat me
like a [G]mushroom
'Cause they feed me bull
and [D]keep me in the [G]blind

[Verse 4]
Now won't you [C]tell me if you can
'Cause life's so [G]hard to understand
Why's the [D]rich man busy dancing
While [G]the poor man pays the band
Oh they're [C]billing me for [G]killing me
[D]Lord have mercy on the working
[G]man

[Verse 5]
[G]Hey St. Peter [C]look down for a [G]minute
And see this little [D]man
about to [G]drown
There's quicksand all around
[C]and man I'm in [G]it
Please help me up Lord
[D]cause I'm going [G]down

[Verse 6]
Now won't you [C]tell me if you can
'Cause life's so [G]hard to understand
Why's the [D]rich man busy dancing
While the [G]poor man pays the band
Oh they're [C]billing me for [G]killing me
[D]Lord have mercy on the working [G]man

[Verse 7]
Won't you [C]tell me if you can
'Cause life's so [G]hard to understand
Why's the [D]fat man busy dancing
While [G]the thin man pays the band
Oh they're [C]billing me for [G]killing me
[D]Lord have mercy on the working [G]man

[Verse 8]
Please [D]Lord have mercy on
the working [G]man[C][G]
Please [D]Lord have mercy on the working [C]man
