Dm F
Here is a song for a man that I know
C G
Workin away his life with nothing to show for it
Dm F
Just a song and it’s all he’ll ever get
C G F C Dm
Cause he’s hard to understand, and he’s easy to forget, easy to forget
Brought all his dreams to the land of the free
But he’s still a slave to his lone range destiny
Never been afraid to work his fingers to the bone
Building all the mansions that he’ll never own, never call home
Chorus:
F C
Singing, hey hey workin’ man, working man like you
Dm Bb
You trade your life for pennies and your work is never through
F C
Singing, hey hey workin’ man, try to get some sleep
Dm G Dm
Tomorrow there’ll be bills to pay and promises to keep, yeah
He loves his family the best way he knows how
6 o clock in the morning, and he’s already out
Gets home just in time to put the kids to bed
Visions of the future ? runnin’ through his head, runnin’ through his head
Chorus 2:
Singing, hey hey workin’ man, workin’ man like you
The hours keep on coming, but your work is never through
Singing, hey hey workin’ man, try to get some sleep
Tomorrow there’ll be bills to pay and promises to keep, yeah
Instrumental break
It was a Saturday the day the laid him down
Finally at rest in that cold, hard ground
His children’s children will never know the man
But they’ll have a chance at a life that he never had and I know that he’d be glad
Chorus 3:
Singing, hey hey workin’ man, workin’ man like you
You gave your life for another and your work is finally through
Singing, hey hey workin’ man, try to get some rest
I hope you’ve got a mention in the city of the blessed, yeah, Yeah, Yeah
