Lindisfarne - Working For The Man


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO:: G+G  FF C majorC G+G  FF C majorC G+G  FF C majorC G+G  FF C majorC

VERSE 1::
      G+G           FF    C majorC    G+G    FF C majorC
There was a whole lot of money he said I'd soon be earning
      G+G             FF   C majorC  D MajorD
There was a whole lot of papers that I didn't understand
      G+G            FF      C majorC   G+G    FF C majorC
There was a whole lot of talk about keeping some beacon burning
    G+G            FF    C majorC    G+G   FF C majorC
And the next thing I knew I was working for the man

VERSE 2::
     G+G            FF     C majorC   G+G    FF C majorC
It took a whole lot of shoving to keep that motor turning
     G+G            FF         C majorC   D MajorD
It took a whole lot of breaking my back 'til I could hardly stand
     G+G             FF    C majorC   G+G    FF C majorC
It took a whole lot of keeping that midnight candle burning
      G+G              FF    C majorC    G+G
That's the lesson you learn when you're working for the man


CHORUS::
Eb MajorEb       FF
Working for the man
      G+G
You know exactly where you stand
Eb MajorEb        FF        D MajorD
Last in line and working for the man


VERSE 3::
    G+G             FF    C majorC   G+G    FF C majorC
I did a whole of thinking, how to get them tables turning
    G+G               FF     C majorC   D MajorD
I did a whole lot of acting, like I'm doing the best I can
    G+G           FF       C majorC    G+G     FF C majorC
I did a whole lot of biting my tongue just to keep on learning
      G+G              FF    C majorC    G+G
That's the lesson you learn when you're working for the man

INSTRUMENTAL:: G+G  FF C majorC G+G  FF C majorC G+G  FF C majorC G+G  FF C majorC


CHORUS::
Eb MajorEb       FF
Working for the man
      G+G
You know exactly where you stand
Eb MajorEb        FF        D MajorD
Last in line and working for the man


VERSE 4::
    G+G            FF     C majorC   G+G    FF C majorC
I got a whole lot to show for it since the day I started
   G+G            FF    C majorC   D MajorD
I got lines on my face, I got blisters on my hand
   G+G           FF      C majorC    G+G    FF C majorC
I got debts to the company, but I don't get downhearted
 G+G            FF    C majorC    G+G  FF C majorC
I still got the privilege, working for the man
 G+G            FF    C majorC    G+G  FF C majorC
I still got the privilege, working for the man
