I'm here trying to make a living.
I ain't living just [Am] to die.
[E] Never getting back what [A] I'm given.
[Em] Can someone, somewhere [A] help me justify
why these strong hands are on the unemployment [C] line?
And there's nothing left but what's on my [A] mind.
[Em] Who's gonna work for the working [C] man?
For the working [G] man?
Get your hands in [D] the dirt.
