Here's a simple version of Bob Dylan's "Workingman's Blues #2" from the album "Modern Play the A as a bar chord in verses (sounds a little cleaner). VERSE:
           A            E
There's an evening haze settlin over town

F#m                          D#m
starlight by the edge of the creek

    D                       A
The buyin power of the Proletariat's gone down

Bm                         E
money's gettin shallow and week

         A                      E
Well the place I love best is a sweet memory

       F#m                   C#m
it's a new path that we trod

         D                  A
They say low wages are reality

      Bm                   E
if we want to compete abroad

A                          E
My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf

     F#m              C#m
come sit down on my knee

        D                   A
You are dearer to me than myself

   Bm                  E
as you yourself can see

         A                      E
Well I'm listening to the steel rails hum

F#m                  C#m
got both eyes tight shut

     D                             A
Just sittin here tryin to keep the hunger from

Bm                       E
creepin it's way into my gut
CHORUS:
D                           A
Meet me at the bottom don't lag behind

Bm                    E
bring me my boots and shoes

        D                            A
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line

Bm                         E              A
sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
