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

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)
