We'd like to do a song for you that we wrote especially for all the working men.
Do we have any of those type of people here with us tonight?
[Eb] Huh?
[Abm]
[Eb] Shhhhhhh
One call to Working Man [Ab] Blues.
Go like [Eb] us right here.
It's a big job just getting by with nine kids [Abm] and a wife.
[Ab] Yeah, but I've been a working man, danger all my life, and keep [Abm] on working.
Long [Db] as my two hands [Abm] are fit to use.
[Eb] I drink a little beer in a [Db] tavern and sing a [Abm] little bit of these working man blues.
[Ab] I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day.
I might get a little tired on the weekend.
After I draw my paper, [Db] I go back working.
Come Monday morning, I'm right [Ab] back with the crew.
[Eb] I drink a little beer in a tavern [Db] and sing a little [Ab] bit of these working man blues.
Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working [Db] man like me.
[Ab] I ain't never been on welfare.
One place I won't be, but [Db] I'll be working.
Long as my two hands are [Ab] fit to use.
[Eb] I drink a little beer in a tavern [Db] and cry a little [Abm] bit of these working man [Ab] blues.
Here come a working man right now.

[Ab] Sometime I think about leaving, do a little bumming around.
Won't throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town, but I [Db] go back working.
I gotta buy my kids a [Ab] brand new parachute, Lord, Lord.
[Eb] I drink a little beer in a [Db] tavern and [Abm] cry a little bit of these working man [Ab] blues.
This song goes out especially for all the working men.
