Working Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh,[G] the[D]re's hell to pay
and no money now
They say what gold's
supposed to come around
Now where's it gone,
when's it coming back
I took a one -way trip down
a one -way track
Now a work[G]in' man can't [F]understand
[D]How he can't afford a ticket
to the prom[G]ised [D]land
Now I'm ninety -five, won't get it done
With your pension drain
and a water pump
They got your nose to the stone
and your back to the wall
You're a little bit less than nothing at all
Well now a [G]working man
can't [F]understand
How we can't afford a ticket
to the prom[D]ised land
Robbin' slaves
Diddy diddy wop wop wop da diddy
Diddy diddy wop wop
Now the wolf is grinning
at the henhouse door
There's a hand in your pocket
and you know what for
Do -do -do -do -wop -wop
Scrappin' and savin' won't do no good
Do -do -do -do -wop -wop -wop -do -do
He got a Walmart check in the Gucci hood
Do -do -do -do -wop -wop
And now a workin' man
won't understand
Do -do -do -do -wop -wop
How a company man became a hired hand
Do -do -do -do -wop -wop -do -do
And now a work[G]in' man
can't [F]understand
How he can't afford a ticket
to the promised [D]land
No, a [G]workin' man can't [F]understand
He can't afford a ticket
to the prom[D]ised land
The promised land
To the promised land
You
