Oney Chords by Johnny Cash

_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ I dedicate this song to the working man, for every man that puts in eight or ten hard hours a day of working tall and sweat,
he's always got somebody looking down his neck trying to get more out of him than he really ought to have to put in.
_ After twenty-nine long years of working in this shop with Onnie [Bb] standing over me, _
_ _ _ [Eb] today when that old whistle blows, I'll check in all my gear and [Ab] I'll retire.
The _ _ _ _ superintendent just dropped by and said they'd planned my little [Bb] get-together. _ _
_ _ Then [Eb] he said I'd never made it if old Onnie hadn't held me [Ab] to the fire. _ _
_ _ _ I've seen him in my dreams at night and woke up in the morning [Bb] feeling tired. _ _
_ _ And [Eb] old Onnie don't remember when I came here how he tried to get [Ab] me fired. _ _
_ _ With his folded hands behind him, every morning Onnie waited [Bb] at the gate
where _ _ _ [Eb] he'd rat and rave like [Eb] I committed murder clocking in [Ab] five minutes late. _ _
[Bb] _ _ But today they'll gather round me like I've seen them do when any [C] man retires. _
_ _ _ [F] Then old Onnie's gonna tell me from now on I'm free to do what [Bb] I desire. _ _
_ _ _ He'll present me with that little old gold watch they give a man at [C] times like this. _
_ _ But [F] there's one thing he's not counting on, today's the day I give [Bb] old Onnie his. _ _
[Db] _ _ _ I've been working, building muscles, Onnie's just been standing round [Eb] getting soft. _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] And today about 4.30 I'll make up for every good night's [Db] sleep I've lost. _ _
_ _ When I'm gone I'll be remembered as a working man that put his [Eb] point across. _ _
_ _ With [Ab] a right hand full of knuckles taught, today I show old Onnie [Db] who's boss. _ _
Hmm, what time is it?
4.30? _
Hey Onnie, _ Onnie! _ _
