Working Man Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
It's a [G]big job just gettin' by
with nine kids and a wife
But [G]I've been a workin' man
dang near all my life
And I'll keep on [C]working
long as my two hands are fit to [G]use
I'll [D]drink my beer in a tavern
[C]Sing a little bit of these
working man [G]blues

[Verse 2]
I [G]keep my nose on the grindstone,
work hard every day
I might [G]get a little tired on the weekend,
after I draw my pay
But I'll go back [C]workin, come Monday morning
I'm right back with the [G]crew
I'll [D]drink a little beer that evening
[C]Sang a little bit of these
working man [G]blues

[Verse 3]
Some[G]times I think about leaving,
do a little bummin' around
I wanna [G]throw my bills out the window
catch a train to another town
But I go back [C]working
I gotta buy my kids
a brand new pair of [G]shoes
I [D]drink a little beer in a tavern,
[C]Cry a little bit of these
working man [G]blues

[Interlude 1]
Here comes out working man
[G][G][G][G]
[C][C][G][G]
[D][C][G][G]

[Verse 4]
Well, [G]hey hey, the working man,
the working man like me
I ain't [G]never been on welfare,
that's one place I won't be
Cause I'll be [C]working
long as my two hands are fit to [G]use
I [D]drink my beer in a tavern
[C]Sing a little bit of these
working man [G]blues
This song for the working man
[G][G]
