Working Man Blues Merle Haggard
Intro: [E] (8 bars)
Verse1: [E]It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I've been a workin' man [E7]dang near all my life
And I'll keep on [A7]working
long as my two hands are fit to [E]use
I'll [B7]drink my beer in a tavern,
[A7]sing a little bit of these working man [E]blues
Verse2: I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
might get a little tight on the weekend, after I draw my pay
Gotta go back to 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: 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
[SOLO - one verse]
Verse4: Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me[A]
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
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)
