Workin' Man Blues - Jed Zepplin
Intro: A7 (8 bars)
Verse1: A
It's a big job just gettin' by with 9 kids and a wife
I been a workin' man dang near all my life
I'll be [D7]working
long as my two hands are fit to [A]use
I'll [E7]drink my beer in a tavern,
[D7]sing a little bit of these working man b[A]lues
Verse2: I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
but I'll go back workin,
come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening,
sing a little bit of these working man blues
Verse3: Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
cause I'll be working
long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink a little beer in a tavern
sing a little bit of these working man blues
(SOLO - one verse)
Verse4: Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
but I go back working
I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
cry a little bit of these working man blues
(VERSE3)
yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
cry a little bit of these working man blues
(this song is for THE workin man, Mr. Merle Haggard)
