Verse 1 
-------- 
 
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, 
                 D 
And I'll keep on workin', 
                                   A 
As long as my two hands are fit to use. 
     E 
I'll drink my beer in a tavern, 
D                                      A 
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues. 
 
 
Verse 2 
-------- 
 
A 
I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day. 
 
I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay, 
                 D 
But I'll go back workin' 
                                            A 
Come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew. 
     E 
I'll drink a little beer that evening, 
D                                      A 
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues. 
 
 
Verse 3 
-------- 
 
A 
Sometimes I think about leavin', doing a little bummin' around, 
 
I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town, 
                 D 
And I'll go back workin' 
                                      A 
Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes. 
  E 
I drink a little beer in a tavern, 
D                                     A 
Cry a little bit of these workin' man blues. 
 
 
Here comes that workin' man... 
 
A      D      A      E    D    A

Verse 4 
-------- 
 
A                                                   G   D 
Well hey, hey, the workin' man, workin' man like me, 
        A 
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be 
               D                                           A 
'Cause I'll be workin', as long as my two hands are fit to use. 
     E          
I'll drink my beer in a tavern, 
D                                      A 
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues.
