🎸 Verse:

verse
               Em
They say work hard and you'll get ahead
              G
But I'm just breaking my back instead
             Am
Clocking in just to pay that rent
            G                    Em
Ain't much left when the day is spent

          Em
Boss man talking ′bout living the dream
                  G
The dream that′s built on my routine
                Am
They raise the price we keep the pace
            G                         Em
Running in place just to stay in the race


🎸 Chorus:
               Em
We built this town with our two hands
              G
Blood in the dirt, sweat in the sand
               Am
They make the rules, we make it stand
            G                     Em
Yeah, this land runs on a working man


🎸 Verse:
              Em
Fields stack high, pay check's thin
             D
Round and around that wheel we spin
                Am
They fly first class we drive beat trucks
              G                       Em
Still showing up when the world gets rough


🎸 Chorus:
               Em
We built this town with our two hands
              G
Blood in the dirt, sweat in the sand
               Am
They make the rules, we make it stand
            G                     Em
Yeah, this land runs on a working man

🎸 Bridge:
       Am
Don′t need your pity

Don't need your crown
           Em
We′re the folks that keeps it spinning round
Am
One more day we'll take that stand
     G
You keep my soul from the working man

We built this town with our two hands

We built this town with our two hands

They make the rules, we make it stand
            G                       Em
Yeah, this land runs on the working man
