VERSE:
I’ve worked my f[Em]ingers to the bone
not a pretty little penny have I got to show
I ain’t looking for much
B walkdown
just a little bit of rest by the side of the road
I lift my v[Em]oice to the forces above
the Lords of l[A]abor and the Goddess of love
ain’t I been a g[Em]ood, hard w[B]orking
INTRO
faithful servant and son
INSTRUMENTAL:
Em F#7add4 G6 Em walkdown x2
CHORUS:
then the [Em]sky turns [F#7add4]black
G6 Em walkdown
and it cracks with a thundering voice
work is what you [Em]are when you’re breathing in an[F#7add4]d out
G6 Em walkdown
til your final breath falls to the floor

BRIDGE:
[Em]so swing down that s[A]ledgehammer through the wood
a little test of mind over f[Em]lesh oughtta do you good
get up off the ground
you can lay d[A]own when the day is done
B walkdown
and on the seventh day
INTRO
you can lay in the morning sun
VERSE:
I want to make my [Em]home on a mountain high
just me and my lover and the big old sky
I ain’t asking for much
B walkdown
just a little bit of rest before the day that I die
I lift my v[Em]oice to the forces above
the Lords of l[A]abor and the Goddess of love
ain’t I been a g[Em]ood, hard w[B]orking
INTRO
faithful servant and son
INSTRUMENTAL:
Em F#7add4 G6 Em walkdown x2
CHORUS:
then the [Em]sky turns [F#7add4]black
G6 Em walkdown
and it cracks with a thundering voice
work is what you [Em]are when you’re breathing in an[F#7add4]d out
G6 Em walkdown
til your final breath falls to the floor
BRIDGE:

a little test of mind over f[Em]lesh oughtta do you good

you can lay in the morning [Em]sun
