VERSE:
        E minorEm
I?ve worked my fingers to the bone
Not a pretty little penny have I got to show
I ain?t looking for much
                        B7B7
Just a little bit of rest by the side of the road
     E minorEm
I lift my voice to the forces above
       A augmentedA
the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
        E minorEm     B7B7
Ain?t I been a good, hard working
           E minor 7Em7
Faithful, servant and son

then the sky turns black
    G+G
and it cracks with a thundering voice
         E minorEm                G/F#
work is what you are when you?re breathing in and out
        G+G
til your final breath falls to the floor

E minorEm         A augmentedA
so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood

a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good
E minorEm
and get up off the ground
       A augmentedA
you can lay down when the day is done
      B7B7                   E minor 7Em7
and on the seventh day you can lay in the morning sun


VERSE:
         E minorEm
I want to make my home on a mountain high
just me and my lover and the big old sky
I ain?t asking for much
                         B7B7
just a little bit of rest before the day that I die
      E minorEm
I lift my voice to the forces above
       A augmentedA
the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
        E minorEm     BB
ain?t I been a good, hard working
           E minor 7Em7
faithful servant and son
