[A]
It's a big job getting by with nine kids and a wife.
Oh, but I've been working man, dang you all my life.
Better go [D] back to work.
Loss of my tooth, hands off [A] in the use.
[E] I drink my beer at Tavern, sing a little bit of these working [A] man blues.
I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day.
I might get a little tired on the weekend,
I could write you all my paper, but I'd go [D] back to working.
Come Monday morning, I'm riding back [A] with the crew.
[E] I drink my beer at [Dm] Tavern, sing a little [E] bit of these working [A] man blues.
Well, sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bumble around.
I wanna throw my bills out the window, [A] hitch a train to another town,
but I'd go [D] back to working.
Gotta buy my kids a brand new [A] pair of shoes.
[E] I drink my beer at Tavern, cry a little bit of these working [A] man blues.
So it's out of work, girl.
