VERSE: Em I’ve worked my fingers to the bone not a pretty little penny have I got to show I ain’t looking for much B walkdown just a little bit of rest by the side of the road Em I lift my voice to the forces above A the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love Em B ain’t I been a good, hard working INTRO faithful servant and son INSTRUMENTAL: Em F#7add4 G6 Em walkdown x2 CHORUS: Em F#7add4 then the sky turns black G6 Em walkdown and it cracks with a thundering voice Em F#7add4 work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out G6 Em walkdown til your final breath falls to the floor BRIDGE: Em A so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood Em a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good get up off the ground A you can lay down when the day is done B walkdown and on the seventh day INTRO you can lay in the morning sun VERSE: Em 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 B walkdown just a little bit of rest before the day that I die Em I lift my voice to the forces above A the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love Em B ain’t I been a good, hard working INTRO faithful servant and son INSTRUMENTAL: Em F#7add4 G6 Em walkdown x2 CHORUS: Em F#7add4 then the sky turns black G6 Em walkdown and it cracks with a thundering voice Em F#7add4 work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out G6 Em walkdown til your final breath falls to the floor BRIDGE: Em A so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood Em a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good get up off the ground A you can lay down when the day is done B walkdown and on the seventh day Em you can lay in the morning sun note: at the end they sing the bridge on top of the chorus once. listen to the song if you want to figure out how that goes.
