[E] So the big [A] job's just getting by, but now it gets out of my [E] eye.
I've been a [A] working man down here all my life, and I'll [D] keep on working.
As long as my two hands are [A] fit to use.
[E] And I'll drink a little beer this weekend, my [D] little bit of this working [A] man's juice.
Sometimes I think about leaving, I go and do a little bummin' [Em] around.
Throw [A] my pills out the window, take me a train to another town, but [D] I'll keep on working.
I gotta find my kids a brand new [A] pair of shoes.
Yeah, I do.
I'm gonna drink a little beer this weekend, [D] my little bit of this working [A] man's brew.
Here comes that working man.

Never been all well found, that's the one place I won't be, but I'll [D] keep on working.
Yeah, Monday morning I'm right back [E] with that crew.
[A] And I'll drink a little beer this weekend, [D] my little bit of this [A] working man's brew.
