CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO:: G  F C G  F C G  F C G  F C

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

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


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


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


INSTRUMENTAL:: G  F C G  F C G  F C G  F C


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


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