[Intro] A E G D A E G D [Verse 1]
A                 E
All my life, I've been a workin' man

G                                     D
When I was at school they said that's all you'll ever understand

A                       E
No profession, I didn't figure in their plans

        G                           D
So they sent me down the factory to be a workin' man

A                E
All I lived for, all I lived for

G                      D
All I lived for was to get out of the factory

A            E                   G              D     A
Now I'm here seemingly free, but working at the factory

F                         C
Then music came along and gave new life to me

    F                    C
And gave me hope back in 1963

    A              E
The music came and set me free

     G              D     A
From working at the factory
[Chorus]
A                D
All I lived for, all I lived for

B         E
   Was to get out of the factory

A                D
All I lived for, all I lived for

B         E
   Was to get out of the factory

F                       C
Never wanted to be like everybody else

    F                             C
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf

     A                   E
They sold us a dream but in reality

       G            D     A
It was just another factory
[Verse 2]
A                 E
I made the music, thought that it was mine

G                             D
It made me free, but that was in another time

A                         E
But then the corporations and the big combines

       G                              D
Turned musicians into factory workers on assembly lines

A                E
All we live for, all we live for

G                     D
All we live for is to get out of the factory

A                    E
We made the music to set ourselves free

     G              D     A
From working at the factory

F                    C
All my life I've put in a working day

F                                  C
Now it's sign the contract, get production on the way

A               E
Take the money, make the music pay

G              D     A
Working at the factory
[Solo] A D B Esus4 E [Chorus]

    All I lived for

B         E
   was to get out of the factory

F                       C
Never wanted to be like everybody else

F                                 C
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf

A                         E
