[A]
[E] I'm going to sing a little [D] bit of these [A] working men.
I keep my nose on the grindstone.
I work hard every day.
Get tired on the weekends.
[B] After I draw my pay, [D] I go back [Am] to work.
Some Monday morning I'm right [A] back with the crew.
[E] I drink a little beer and a [D] tablet.
Sing a little bit of these [A] working men.
There's some time to think about leaving.
Do a little bumming around.
I won't throw my bills out the window.
Catch me [F#] a train to another town.
I [D] gotta go back to work.
[Am] Gotta buy my kids a brand new [A] pair of shoes.
[E] I drink a little beer and a [D] tablet.
Cry a little bit of these [A] working men.
