Chords

G
I've been workin' at a sawmill earnin' every dime I make

G                        D                        G
Lookin' at my check stub cussin' what the tax man takes

   G
My baby's dependin' on me oh Lord to bring the bacon home

    G                         D                   G 
But it's just salt pork we're eating lower on the hog
Chorus:
         C          
But if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way

     G 
With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say

    C
But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone

                D                 
I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on

          Em                F                G
There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

    Em                  F                   G
I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog
There's people standin' with their hands out formin' a welfare line Savin' their back while I'm out breakin' mine I ain't worried about the federal budget or the L.A. city smog I'm workin' overtime and eatin' lower on the hog Chorus:
         C          
But if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way

     G 
With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say

    C
But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone

                D                 
I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on

          Em                F                G
There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

    Em                  F                   G
I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog

          Em                F                G
There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

    Em                  F                   G
I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog
