Workin' Man Blues - Jed Zepplin
Merle Haggard
Intro: A7 (8 bars)
Verse1: A
It's a big job just gettin' by with 9 kids and a wife
I been a workin' man dang near all my life
D7
I'll be working
A
long as my two hands are fit to use
E7
I'll drink my beer in a tavern,
D7 A
sing a little bit of these working man blues
Verse2: I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
but I'll go back workin,
come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening,
sing a little bit of these working man blues
Verse3: Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
cause I'll be working
long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink a little beer in a tavern
sing a little bit of these working man blues
[SOLO - one verse]
Verse4: Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
but I go back working
I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
cry a little bit of these working man blues
[VERSE3]
yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
cry a little bit of these working man blues
(this song is for THE workin man, Mr. Merle Haggard)

| sregor_nad - 2005-07-13 | | Even though my band plays this song in the key of A also, its really written in Ab. Merle capos up four and plays it out of E. Just to let you know, I gave it a 5 anyway, the sevenths are a nice touch. |
