John Anderson - Lower On The Hog Chords

G
I've been workin' at a sawmill earnin' every dime I make
G                        D                        G
Lookin' at my check stub cussin' what the tax man takes
   G
My baby's dependin' on me oh Lord to bring the bacon home
    G                         D                   G 
But it's just salt pork we're eating lower on the hog


Chorus:
         C          
But if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way
     G 
With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say
    C
But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone
                D                 
I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on
          Em                F                G
There's a lot less scr*p to throw out to the dog
    Em                  F                   G
I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog


There's people standin' with their hands out formin' a welfare line 
Savin' their back while I'm out breakin' mine
I ain't worried about the federal budget or the L.A. city smog
I'm workin' overtime and eatin' lower on the hog


Chorus:
         C          
But if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way
     G 
With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say
    C
But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone
                D                 
I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on
          Em                F                G
There's a lot less scr*p to throw out to the dog
    Em                  F                   G
I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog
          Em                F                G
There's a lot less scr*p to throw out to the dog
    Em                  F                   G
I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog
