Sam Cooke

G  Em
ooh! aah! 4x

I hear something saying
G  Em
ooh! aah! 4x

I hear something saying
G  Em
ooh! aah! 8x

(Well, don't you know?)

G            C         G   Em G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
            C         D   G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singing

G  Em
ooh! aah! 4x

(Well, don't you know?)

G            C         G   Em G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
            C         D   G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

G         Em
All day long they work so hard,
C           D
'till the sun is going down
G       Em
Working on the highway and byways,
  C         D
and wearing, wearing a frown
G              Em
You hear them moaning their lives away,
C         D
then you hear somebody say

G            C         G   Em G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
            C         D   G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Can't you hear them saying?

G  Em
ooh! aah! 4x

(Well, don't you know?)
G            C         G   Em G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
            C         D   G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Can't you hear them saying?

G       Em        C
Mm, I'm going home one of these days,
D           G
I'm going home see my woman,
    Em
whom I love so dear
   C         G     D
But, meanwhile I got to work right here

(Well, don't you know?)

G            C         G   Em G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
            C         D   G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singing

hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
    G     Em
Give me water, I'm thirsty
C   D
My, my work is so hard

G  Em     C       D
hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
    G     Em
Give me water, I'm thirsty

My, my work is so hard

hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
    G     Em
Give me water, I'm thirsty
C   D
My, my work is so hard
