[Intro]
A D7 A E D A
[Verse 1]
A Well, it's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife A But I've been a working man dang near all my life D7 And I'll keep on working A As long as my two hands are fit to use
[Refrain]
E7 I'll drink a little beer in a tavern D7 A I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues
[Verse 2]
A I'll keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day A I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay D7 But I'll go back to working A Come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
[Refrain]
E7 I'll drink a little beer in a tavern D7 A Sing a little bit of these working man blues
[Verse 3]
A Well, hey-hey, the working man, the working man, like me A I ain't never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be D7 'Cause I'll be working A As long as my two hands are fit to use
[Refrain]
E7 I'll drink a little beer in a tavern D7 A I'll sing a little bit of them working man blues
[Instrumental Break]
A D7 A E7 D7 A
[Verse 4]
A Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin' around A7 I want to throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town D7 But I'll go back to workin' A I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
[Refrain]
E I'll drink a little beer in a tavern D A Cry a little bit of them working man blues
[Instrumental Break]
A D7 A E7 D7 A
[Verse 5]
A Hey-hey, the working man, the working man, like me A I ain't never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be D7 'Cause I'll be working A As long as my two hands are fit to use
[Refrain]
E7 I'll drink a little beer in a tavern D7 A And I'll sing a little bit of thesm working man blues
