Chords for Work Song - Eric Burdon and the Animals

[Ab] Well I'm breaking rocks on the chain gang, breaking rocks in Silverman town
Breaking rocks all day on the chain gang, cause I've been convicted of crime
Hold it steady right there while I hit it, well I reckon that oughta get it
Been [F] working, been [Bb] working, still got hours [Fm] though
I've committed the crime of being hungry, the crime of being needy and poor
[C] Left the grocery store man bleeding, [G] when he caught me robbing [Fm] his store
Hold [C] it steady right there while I hit it, [Fm] well I reckon that oughta get it
[F] Been working, been [Bb] working, [Fm] still got hours though

_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ I wanna go and see my sweet baby, wanna take these chains off and run
I [C] wanna go somewhere cool and shady, Lord it sure gets hot in the [Db] sun
Hold it steady right there while I hit it, well I reckon that oughta get [F] it
Been working, [Bb] been working, [Eb] still got hours [Bb] though

Left the grocery store man [C] bleeding, when he caught me robbing [F] his store
Hold [Fm] it steady _ right there while I hit it, well I reckon that oughta get it
Been [F] working, been [Bb] working, [Eb] still got [Ab] hours though
I hear the judge said five years of labor, to the chain gang you have to go
I hear the judge said five years of labor, I hear my woman screamin' Lord no!
Hold it steady right there while I hit it, well I reckon one more time oughta get [A] it
Been working, [Bb] been working, [Eb] still [F] got hours though
Well _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ _
