 It's a big job just gettin' by with 9 kids and a wife 
 
 I been a workin' man dang near all my life 
 D7 
 I'll be working 
 A 
 long as my two hands are fit to use 
 E7 
 I'll drink my beer in a tavern, 
 D7 A 
 sing a little bit of these working man blues 
 
 
 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)
