Dadd4add9: x54030 (just a C moved two frets up) [Verse 1]
     G
When I get home from work

       C               G
I'll call up all my friends

     G/F#     Em7                  C
And we'll go bust up something beautiful

        G
we'll have to build again

     G
When I get home from work

        C              G
I'll wrestle off my clothes

     G/F#     Em7               C
And leave em right inside the front door

          G
'cause nobody's home to know

             D
You see a hammer finds a nail

         C                      G
And a freight train needs the rails

          D                           Am7
And I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do
[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts

                            Em7  D C Cmaj7
I'm just lucky to have the work

          Em7            D               C
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church

                         Em7 D C
But I thank God for the work
G C/G (x2) [Verse 2]
     G                    C                G
When I get my reward my work will all be done

   G/F#     Em7             C                 G
And I will sit back in my chair beside the father and the son

 G                         C                 G
No more holes to fill and no more rocks to break

   G/F#        Em7         C                   G
And no more loading boxes on the trucks for someone else's sake

            D
'Cause a hammer needs a nail

          C                 G
And the poor man's up for sale

            D                           Am7
Guess I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do
[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts

                            Em7  D C Cmaj7
I'm just lucky to have the work

           Em7                 D              C
And every night I dream I'm drowning in the dirt

                         Em7 D C
But I thank God for the work
[Bridge]
               Dadd4add9                  C
And the day will come when I'll find a reason

           Dadd4add9                   C
And somebody proud to love a man like me

         Dadd4add9                C
My back is numb, my hands are freezing

        Dadd4add9                             C
What I'm working for is something more than free
[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts

                            Em7  D C Cmaj7
I'm just lucky to have the work

          Em7            D               C
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church

                         Em7 D C
But I thank God for the work
But I thank God for the work G C/G (x4) G
