Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
               C 
I'm a hard workin' man, I wear a steel hard hat, 

      F 
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint, 

   C 
do things with my hands that most men can't. 

  G 
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try, 

          C                               C 
I'm getting     really good at barely getting by. 
[Verse 2]
               C 
Got everything I own by the sweat of my brow, 

        F 
from my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots, 

C 
I owe it all to my blue-collar roots. 

              G 
Feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train, 

         C 
I've got to    bust loose from this ball and chain. 
[Chorus 1]
      F     Eb               C 
I'm a hard,     hard-workin' man, 

            G                                  C    
I've got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land. 

        F          Eb             C 
And I'm burnin' my candle at both ends, 

                      G                                     C 
about the only way to keep the fire going is to out-run the wind. 
[Solo] F Eb C G C F Eb C G C [Verse 3]
             C 
Come Friday night I like to party hard, 

F 
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties, 

         C 
spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty. 

G 
Come Monday morning I'm the first to arrive, 

        C 
I ain't nothin' but business from nine to five. 
[Chorus 2]
      F     Eb               C 
I'm a hard,     hard-workin' man, 

            G                                  C    
I've got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land. 

        F          Eb             C 
And I'm burnin' my candle at both ends, 

                      G                                     C 
about the only way to keep the fire going is to out-run the wind.

                G                                         C 
I can't wait to get up in the mornin', and do it all over again, 

            G                 C    F  C 
well, I'm a hard-livin', hard-workin' man.
