We always do two or three for the working man, but this is really the [Db] working man song,
one [Ab] called the Working Man Blues.
It's a big job getting by with nine kids and a wife.
Yeah, but I've been a working man, hangin' there all my life and I'll [Db] keep on workin'
long as my two hands are fit to [Ab] use.
[Eb] I'll drink a little beer that evening [Db] and sing a little bit of [Abm] this Working Man Blues.
[Ab] Well, I keep [Db] my nose on the grindstone, [Ab] work [Db] hard every day.
[Ab] I might get a little tired on the weekend after I've drawn a pay, but I go [Db] back to workin'.
Come Monday morning, I'm right back with [Ab] the crew.
[Eb] I'll drink a little beer that evening [Db] and sing a little bit of this Working [Ab] Man Blues.
Sometimes [Db] I [Ab] think about [Db] [Ab] leavin' until it bumps around.
Throw my blues out the window, catch a mid-train to another town, but I [Db] go back to workin'.
I gotta find my kids a brand new pair of [Ab] shoes.

Well, [Db] hey, [Ab] hey, a working man, a working man [Gb] like me, [Ab] he ain't never been all wealthy.
One place he won't be, he'd [Db] be workin' long as his two hands are fit [Ab] to use.
He [Eb] might drink a little beer that evening [Db] and sing a little bit of this Working [Ab] Man Blues.
