John Anderson - Lower On The Hog


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


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