Austin Ray Hardy - Blue Collar Man Chords

[Intro]
G     C     G  D   G
 
[Verse]
G
I drive a 97 square body Chevrolet
C
  I trust it more than some made today
       Em                           D                        C
That I bought with some hard-earned cash nah my daddy didn't pay
           G
I couldn't tell you the last time that I shaved
C
  I come home dirty every single day
           Em
And if you like soft hands,
     D                            C
Well mine, they ain't the ones to shake
      Em                     D                  C
And I know there's more like me that do it this way
 
[Chorus]
         G
Yeah, we get knocked down, we get back up
G
We'd take on hell for the ones we love
C
On our knees sending prayers above
                                   D
Cause without His help we couldn't get it done
   G
We run on that caffeine and nicotine fix
G
And always say we're gonna quit
   C
We work all day, sometimes all night
                   D
To give our home a decent life
    Em                 D                   C
And you might say that you don't understand
    Em                  D                       C   G  C
But everybody ain't cut out to be a blue-collar man
 
[Verse]
         G
Some get covered with grass, others with grease
     C
Some got that sawdust all over them jeans
   Em                    D               C
Or 15 stickers on a hard hat in the back seat
      G
We're every trade across this land
   C
We built this place with our calloused hands
           Em                      D
And if you think you'd make it without us,
                    C
You're heads in the sand
          Em                D                        C   D
Yeah, you better thank God above for the blue-collar man
 
 
[Chorus]
         G
Yeah, we get knocked down, we get back up
G
We'd take on hell for the ones we love
C
On our knees sending prayers above
                                   D
Cause without His help we couldn't get it done
   G
We run on that caffeine and nicotine fix
G
And always say we're gonna quit
   C
We work all day, sometimes all night
                   D
To give our home a decent life
    Em                 D                   C
And you might say that you don't understand
    Em                  D                       C    D
But everybody ain't cut out to be a blue-collar man
 
[Bridge]
    Em                 D                     C
Yea some of you boys I doubt could make it a day
    Em                D                  C   D
But guys like me were born to do it this way
 
[Chorus ]
        G
Yeh, we run on that caffeine and nicotine fix
G
And always say we're gonna quit
   C
We work all day, sometimes all night
                   D
To give our home a decent life
    Em                 D                   C
And you might say that you don't understand
    Em                 D              C
Yea you might say that you don't understand
    Em                  D
But everybody ain't cut out
    Em                  D                       C    G
Yea everybody ain't cut out to be a blue-collar man
