[A] [E]
[D] If [Gm] you can't find [D] work, work finds you.
You know, daddy didn't raise no welfare fool,
says there's a lot [G] worse things a boy could [D] do
than straddling nine [A] beams.
So [D] I'll build this [G] bridge till it's complete,
and [D] I'll take the [A] steel toes off my [Em] feet
[D] and get [G] myself a one-way seat [Dm] on that train to [D] Hopkinsville.
[Em] [Gm] Hey, I'm going [Dm] back to [G] Hopkinsville.
I'm going [Dm] back, you know I [Am] [A] will.
[G] Only [D] 21 [Gm] working days until [D] I'm with [G] my love [A] in [D] Hopkinsville.
[A]
[D] [G] [D] [A] [D]
On my day [G] off, I pull the blinds [Dm] so the foreman
won't [A] see my taste for the wine.
[Dm] And I drink [G] until the sun don't [D] shine,
and I sit and [A] drink some more.
I [D] might call the [G] boys and deal a hand.
[D] I may go to town to hear [A] a country [D] band
and lie [G] about what we got [Dm] planned
when we [A] get off [D] of that bridge.
[G] Oh, I'm going back [D] to Hopkinsville.
[G] I'm going back, [D] you know [A] I will.
[G] Only [D] 21 [G] working days until [D] I'm with [E] my love in [D] Hopkinsville.
[A] [D] [G] [A]
[D] [G] [Dm]
[G] [D] [A]
[D] [G] [D]
[C#m] [Dm] [D] Well, this welding [G] hood is mighty dark.
You can [Dm] see the sun [A] and the welding [D] sparks,
and it sounds [G] real good, singing old Joe Clark
[D] long as nobody else [A] can hear.
[D] And it fits my head, [Em] fits my face,
and [D] it holds my welding [A] gloves in place.
[D] And it's been [G] known to hide the trace [D] of a lonely man crying.
[G] I'm going [Dm] back to Hopkinsville.
[G] I'm going back, you [Dm] know [A] I will.
[D] Only 21 [G] working days until I'm with [A] my love in [D] Hopkinsville.
[Am] [G] Hey, I'm going [Dm] back.
[G]
Hey, I'm going [Dm] back, you [A] know I will.
[D] Only 21 [G] working days until [D] I'm with [G#] my [Em] love in [D] Hopkinsville.
[A] [D]
Hopkinsville.
[A] [D] Hopkinsville.
That's right.
