[N] [Ebm] [Gb]
[Ab]
It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
If it I've been a working man dang there all that's gonna [Db] keep on working
Long as my two hands are a [Ab] bit used
I
[Eb] drink my beer at a tavern [Ab] and sing a little bit of working man blues
[Abm]
[Ab] I keep my nose on the grindstone work hard every day
If I get a little tired on the weekend after I've drunk a fay but I go [Db] back a-working
Come Monday morning.
I'm right back with [Ab] a crew
I drank [Eb] my beer at a tavern sing a little bit of them working [Ab] man blues
Sometime I think about it even do a little bumming around
From my bills at the window catch me a train to another town, but I go back work
[Db] Come Monday morning.

Drink my beer at a tavern and sing a little [Ebm] bit of them working [Ab] man blues
