Hard Workin Man

	  		
Intro: C 


verse 1 

               C  
I'm a hard workin' man, I wear a steel hard hat,  
      F  
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint,  
   C  
do things with my hands that most men can't.  
  G  
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try,  
          C                               C  
I'm getting     really good at barely getting by.  
  

verse 2 
               C  
Got everything I own by the sweat of my brow,  
        F  
from my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots,  
C  
I owe it all to my blue-collar roots.  
              G  
Feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train,  
         C  
I've got to    bust loose from this ball and chain.  

      F     Eb               C  
I'm a hard,     hard-workin' man,  
            G                                  C     
I've got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land.  
        F          Eb             C  
And I'm burnin' my candle at both ends,  
                      G                                     C  
about the only way to keep the fire going is to out-run the wind.

verse 3 

             C  
Come Friday night I like to party hard,  
F  
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties,  
         C  
spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty.  
G  
Come Monday morning I'm the first to arrive,  
        C  
I ain't nothin' but business from nine to five.  
  
      F     Eb               C  
I'm a hard,     hard-workin' man,  
            G                                  C     
I've got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land.  
        F          Eb             C  
And I'm burnin' my candle at both ends,  
                      G                                     C  
about the only way to keep the fire going is to out-run the wind. 
  
                G                                         C  
I can't wait to get up in the mornin', and do it all over again,  
            G                 C    F  C  
well, I'm a hard-livin', hard-workin' man.
