Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: D

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
    D
For years I've been busting my rear
          G                   D
To make a living but it ain't made
     D
For years I've been trying to pay off my bills
                A
But they ain't paid
  D                      D7
I owe every dime I make, every soul I know
    G
The higher up I reach the further down I go
    D                                               G
And this old broken back of mine is all I've got to show,
       D                       A              D
and anyway a working man can't get nowhere today

Chorus:
        D
Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today
  D                                A
A working man ain't got no time to play
   D                                   G
Today I work my fanny off and leave it lay
  D                 A              D
A working man can't get nowhere today


Verse 2:
  D
I pay my income tax and the government gives back
           G                          D
What I got coming, Lord, but it ain't much
  D
I paid my child support 'cause I'm a law abiing sort
         A
And easy touch,
   D                         D7
yet I starve myself to death Trying to keep my family fed,
  G
I kEep my budget tight Trying to keep myself ahead
    D                                             G
but I'd still be deep in debt the day that I fall dead,
             D                             A             D
that's why I say lord, a working man can't get nowhere today


Chorus:
        D
Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today
  D                                A
A working man ain't got no time to play
   D                                   G
Today I work my fanny off and leave it lay
  D                 A              D
A working man can't get nowhere today


Outro:
  D                 A             D
A working man can't get nowhere today
