Hank Williams III- workin man chords
Start Jamming...
[Dm] [D]
I woke up this morning to [C] kiss my wife goodbye.
I pray to God that I make it home [Dm] safe tonight.
It's a dangerous job, [C] but I take that risk.
I treat my blood and sweat [Dm] just to feed my kids.
I've been working for the man [C] since a tender age.
Now a rich politician [G] wants [Dm] to lower my wage.
Pour me a drink so [C] I can understand.
These are the struggles of a working [Dm] man.
I work outside in [C] the pouring rain.
When it's cold as ice, [D] when I'm full of pain.
It don't matter [C] what I feel inside,
long as the job that I'm [G] working gets [Dm] done on time.
The boss man says [C] work's getting slow.
Pack up your [Dm] tools, boys, and head on home.
I pour another drink [C] and try to understand.
These are the struggles of a working [Dm] man.

You see, I work construction.
I build things.
You understand how important that is to the world?
I don't know if y'all [A] realize the pressure that
puts [Am] on a man like me.
[D]
I love my [C] wife and I raise my son the best I [Dm] can,
better than some I just found out [C] the other day.
I got another [G] little one that's [Dm] on the way.
I took a new job [C] down at the factory.
Yeah, don't pay much, [Dm] but at least we can eat.
I roll up the smoke and [C] I make a new plan.
These are the struggles of a [Dm] working man.
Went [D] down to the river [C] just the other day.
Got down on my [Dm] knees and began to pray.
I said, [Am] Lord, please [C] won't you understand?
Struggles of [Dm] this working man.

These are the struggles [F] of a [D] working man.
