Year: 1995 - Album: Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964

Written by Sam Cooke

	  		G    Em 
(ooh!  aah!) (x2) 
 
I hear somethin' saying 
G    Em    C    D 
(ooh!  aah! ooh! aah!) (x2) 
 
                 G 
(Well, don't you know) 
                        C                  G     Em     G 
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang 
                        C                  D     G 
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang 
 
All day long they're singing 
 
G    Em   C    D 
(ooh! aah! ooh! 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                  Em 
 All day long they work so hard 
C                      D 
'till the sun is going down 
G               Em 
 Working on the highway and byways 
    C                D 
and wearing, wearing a frown 
G                            Em 
 You hear them moaning their lives away 
C              D 
 Then you hear somebody 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 
G   Em                    C 
Mm, I'm going home one of these days 
D                     G 
I'm going home see my woman 
       Em 
Whom I love so dear 
    C                  D 
But meanwhile I got to work 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    Em          C          D 
 my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard 
        G          Em 
Give me water, I'm thirsty 
C   D 
 My work is so hard
