[Chorus]
  Am          Em             F             C
I'm just a working man the guitar is my tool
  Am              Em              F            C
I always learn by doing I dropped out of every school
Am              Em           F               G
Work for make a living and I work to pay the rent

[Verse 1]
   Am            Em              F                   C
My father was an engineer and he gave his whole last work
Am          Em                 F              C
To a man he never knew and got treated like a jerk
Am                 Em               F          G
Completely off and pushed aside and only fifty-five
Am            Em                F                C
On that day I swore to God that ain't my kind of life

[Chorus]
Am         Em              F            C
I'm just a working man the guitar is my tool
  Am              Em              F            C
I always learn by doing I dropped out of every school
Am               Em           F               G
Work to feed the family and I work to pay the rent
    Am                 Em            F              C
The thing that started out as fun is working in the end

[Verse 2]
Am                     Em                  F                C
Tried to follow in his footsteps must have worked a hundred jobs
Am            Em               F              C
Neither had a bright career no way to keep it up
Am             Em             F                G
Woke up from a nightmare in a cold sweat every night
Am                  Em                F           C
One day a sill that said I quit don't say I never tried

[Chorus]
Am        Em                F            C
Now I'm a working man and a guitar is my tool
  Am              Em              F            C
I always learn by doing I dropped out of every school
Am                       Em            F             G
Comesso much and not too little that's what I get to spend
    Am                 Em            F              C
The thing that started out as fun is working in the end
    Am                 Em            F                              Am
The thing that started out as fun is working working working in the end
