Workin' Man's Dollar Chris LeDoux
[A] [G] [D] [G]Well, [A]I'm just a Workin' Man's Dollar In the pocket of his old blue
jeans
[A] [G] [D] [G]I ain'[A]t like my Wall Street brother He's in a bank so shiny and
clean
[A] [G] [D] [G]Well, [A]I'm faded and I'm wrinkled Tattered and stained with
sweat
[A] [G] [D]But I'm the 1st one cal[A]led when Uncle Sam Needs a hand with the
National Debt
[A] [G] [D] [G]I've b[A]een wages for the farm hand For drivin' an old John
Deere
[G] [D] [G]I've b[A]een laid on a bar in a tavern To buy a workin' man an
ice-cold beer
[G] [D]I've been tipped to[A] a truck-stop waitress Taped where I
was torn
[G] [D]And in the hand [A]of a child I was laid on a plate In a church on Sunday
morn
CHORUS:
They s[D]ay I'm the root of all evil I bring lu[A]st, power and
greed
[G] [D]But this Workin' Ma[A]n's Dollar only buys the things A workin' man really
needs
Verse:
[A] [G] [D] [G]Well, [A]they say I'm worth about fifty-cents In this modern
inflated age
[A] [G] [D] [G]But do[A]n't tell that to the young man slavin' To make it on a
minimum wage
[A] [G] [D] [G]Or tha[A]t single workin' mother She's been scapin' to make
ends meet
[G] [D]To make a house a ho[A]me Keep food on the table And shoes on her
baby's feet
[A] [G] [D] [G]Well, [A]I know my days are numbered I'm gettin' threadbare and
wearin' thin
[A] [G] [D]And they'll[A] replace me with another But I'd do it all
again
[A]Cuz I've seen this great big cou[G]ntry
Passed from ha[D]nd to callused ha[A]nd
[A]And I've got to say that I'm mig[G]hty proud
That I bel[D]ong to a wor[G]kin' ma[A]n
REPEAT CHORUS
