Merle Haggard - Workin man blues

^A Its a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife, But I've been a workin' man dang near all my life, And I'll keep on ^Dworkin', As long as my two hands are fit to ^Ause. I'll ^Edrink my beer in a tavern, ^DSing a little bit of these workin' man ^Ablues.

^AI keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day. I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay, But I'll go back ^Dworkin' Come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the ^Acrew. I'll ^Edrink a little beer that evening, ^DSing a little bit of these workin' man ^Ablues.

^ASometimes I think about leavin', doing a little bummin' around, I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town, And I'll go back ^Dworkin' Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of ^Ashoes. I ^Edrink a little beer in a tavern, ^DCry a little bit of these workin' man ^Ablues.

^AWell hey, hey, the workin' man, workin' man like me,^{G D} I ain't ^Anever been on welfare, that's one place I won't be 'Cause I'll be ^Dworkin', as long as my two hands are fit to ^Ause. I'll ^Edrink my beer in a tavern, ^DSing a little bit of these workin' man ^Ablues. ^AThis songs for the workin' man...
