CHAIN GANG by SAM COOKE Written by Sam Cooke and Charles Cooke

^G(ooh!^Em aah!) (x2) I hear somethin' saying ^G(ooh!^Em aah!^C ooh!^D aah!) (x2)

(Well, don't you ^Gknow) That's the sound of the ^Cmen working on the ^Gchain ^Emgang ^G That's the sound of the ^Cmen working on the ^Dchain ^Ggang

All day long they're singing

^G(ooh!^Em aah!^C ooh!^D aah!) (x2) (Well, don't you know) That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

^G All day long they ^Emwork so hard ^C'till the sun is going ^Ddown ^G Working on the ^Emhighway and byways and ^Cwearing, wearing ^Da frown ^G You hear them moaning their ^Emlives away ^C Then you hear ^Dsomebody say

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang Can't you hear them saying

^GMm, ^EmI'm going home one of ^Cthese days ^DI'm going home see my ^Gwoman Whom I ^Emlove so dear But ^Cmeanwhile I got to ^Dwork right here

(Well, don't you know) That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang All day long they're singing

^G my, ^Emmy, my, my, ^Cmy, my, my ^Dwork is so hard Give me ^Gwater, I'm ^Emthirsty ^C My ^Dwork is so hard
