Working For The Man Chords

(ver. 1)
Jason Ellis
[Intro]
G
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
E
Well I've had my highs and I've had my lows
         A
I used to spend all of my money on whiskey, women, and smokes
          E                                         B
Now I can barely scr*pe up enough just to fill my car with gas
           E
I'm burning the candle at both ends just to meet in the middle
    A
I feel like a guitar that shoulda been a fiddle
     E                       B             E
Just plucking along with too many strings attached
 
 
 
[Chorus]
         A
Well the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer
          E
And there ain't no American dream no more
                                             B
Tryin to make a living just doing the best I can
         A
I'm running like the devil to make ends meet
    E
I got blood on my hands.. blisters on my feet
                             B7               E
Dying for a dollar just to split it with the man
 
 
E A E B E
 
[Verse 2]
        E
I ain't had a day off in over 3 weeks
      A
This part time position is full time - killing me
      E                                             B
If I had some time I'd probably spend it out on the lake
    E
Or take my litte lady for dinner and dancing 
          A
A little backroad - tailgate down romancing
      E                                 B7                E
But I can't find a babysitter.. That'll give a damn man a break
 
 
 
[Chorus]
         A
Well the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer
          E
And there ain't no American dream no more
                                             B
Tryin to make a living just doing the best I can
         A
I'm running like the devil to make ends meet
    E
I got blood on my hands.. blisters on my feet
                             B7               E
Dying for a dollar just to split it with the man
 
 
 
 
[Solo]
A   E   B
A   E   B7  E
 
 
 
[Chorus]
         A
Well the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer
          E
And there ain't no American dream no more
                                             B
Tryin to make a living just doing the best I can
         A
I'm running like the devil to make ends meet
    E
I got blood on my hands.. blisters on my feet
                             B7               E
Dying for a dollar just to split it with the man
 
                             B7               E
Dying for a dollar just to split it with the man - Yes I am
                             B7               E
Dying for a dollar just to split it with the man - Y'all understand
                             B7               E
Dying for a dollar just to split it with the man
