[C] [Dm] [G] [C]
Stumble from my good warm [G] bed, Monday morning, oh my [F] head
[B] Gotta [G] go and do it [C] all again, [G] [C]
wake up baby, rise and [G] shine
It's coffee, eggs, and bacon [F] time, walk [G] your working man out [C] to the [G] car
[C]
The boss is in his usual [G] mood, not one thing does he [F] approve
Sometimes [G] you can't keep him [C] satisfied, [G] [C]
[G] up and [C] down the assembly [G] line
Where it faces much like [F] mine, showing the [G] wear and tear [C] in their eyes
[F] They're making it [C] hard on the working man, [G] trying to make a [C] living any way he can
[F]
Making ends [C] meet on the installment plan, [G] his money goes [C] right through his hand
[F]
Heaven help [C] him if you think you can, [F] they're making it [G] hard on the [F] working man
[C] [Dm] [G] [C]
Big policeman in his [G] prime, sits behind his billboard [F] sign
Aims his [G] radar gun right [C] straight at me, [G] [C]
[C] a letter from the IRS
[G] Said, boy, your taxes are a [F] mess, is this the [G] way the good life's [C] supposed to be?
[F] They're making it [C] hard on the working man, [G] trying to make a [C] living any way he can
[F] Making ends meet [C] on the installment plan, [G] his money goes [C] right through his hand
[F]
Heaven help [C] him if you think you can, [F] they're making it [G] hard on the working [F] man
[C] [Dm] [G] [C]
Stumbled from my good [G] warm bed, Monday morning, oh [C] my [F] head
Gotta [G] go and do it [C] all again, [G] [C]
[G] too much [C] room in the [G] fridge there
[G] The kids all need new shoes to [F] wear, payments [G] laid on my old [C] truck again
[F] They're making it [C] hard on the working man, [G] trying to make a [C] living any way he can
[F]
Making ends [C] meet on the installment [G] plan, his money [C] goes right through his [F] hand
Heaven [C] help him if you think you [F] can, they're [Dm] making it [G] hard on the [C] working man
[F] They're making it [C] hard on the working man, [G]
trying to make a [C] living any way he can
[F] Making ends [C] meet on the installment [G] plan, his money [C] goes right through his hand
[F] Heaven [C] help him if you think you [F] can, they're [Dm] making it [G] hard on the [F] working man
