Travis Tritt – Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man (Guitar)

A            D                 A
All around I hear the sound of money

                  E            A
But I ain't got a nickel to my name

                 D              A
And everywhere I look I see temptation

                    E                   A
She stands on every corner and calls my name

              D
Now won't you tell me if you can

                A
Cause life's so hard to understand

          E
Why's the rich man busy dancin'

          A
While the poor man pays the band

           D               A
Oh they're billing me, for killing me

E                              A
Lord have mercy on the workin' man

A               D              A
Uncle Sam's got his hand in my pockets

                          E               A
And he helps himself each time he needs a dime

                 D               A
Them politicians treat me like a mushroom

                            E              A
Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind

A             D               A
Hey St. Peter look down for a minute

                    E            A
And see this little man about to drown

                       D                 A
There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it

                  E                    A
Please help me up Lord cause I'm goin' down
