Broke chords by Dean Brody

♫ Intro:

G

♫ Verse:
G
Sixteen hour days
C
Overworked and underpaid
G
It's just a day in the life
                     G*
Of my old man's old man
G
If there's one thing I've learned
C

It's whatcha make is whatcha earn
G
And you stick it out
                          G
Without sticking out your hand
C                     G
Getting by on getting by
              G*
It ain't no joke, no
C                                                G
We got a name for things 'round here that don't work
N.C.
Broke

G*

♫ Verse:
G
If we fell on hard times
C
Well, I'd spend my last dime
G
Makin' sure
                   G
I kept my family fed
G
Yet some old, poor folks will choose
C
To blow it all on booze
G
But half the time it's that fool
                           G
Who ends up with half my check

♫ Chorus:
G
Too much month at the end of your money
C
Is just a day in the life of a man from the country
G                                                 G
Breaking your back, working your muscles to the bone, bone, bone
G
We don't live off another man's dollar
C
Just sweat and red dirt stained on a blue collar
G
Our nine to five, is a five to nine
G
All day long
C                     G
Getting by on getting by
               G*
It ain't no joke, no
C                                                G
We got a name for things 'round here that don't work
N.C.

♫ Bridge:
          C                   G                      G
It ain't much of a life if you live that life for free
          C                   G                   G
Sitting around all day never sat quite right with me
