  WORKIN' MAN'S DOLLAR

  Written and Sung by: Chris LeDoux

  

  This song is played in barr chords at the 3rd and 5th frets. There is

  also a chord riff that is repeated throughout the song. It's A  G  D  G

  A, if you listen to it a few times it's not too difficult to get.

  

  Verse:

   A                               G                   D               

  G     A

  Well, I'm just a Workin' Man's Dollar      In the pocket of his old blue

  jeans

      A                          G                         D           

  G     A

  I ain't like my Wall Street brother          He's in a bank so shiny and

  clean

              A              G                       D                 

  G     A

  Well, I'm faded and I'm wrinkled               Tattered and stained with

  sweat

               A                     G                

  D                      A

  But I'm the 1st one called when Uncle Sam  Needs a hand with the

  National Debt

     A                      G                             D            

  G     A

  I've been wages for the farm hand                For drivin' an old John

  Deere

                               G                          D            

  G     A

  I've been laid on a bar in a tavern      To buy a workin' man an

  ice-cold beer

                                       G                   

  D                  A

  I've been tipped to a truck-stop waitress               Taped where I

  was torn

                                      G                     

  D               A

  And in the hand of a child  I was laid on a plate  In a church on Sunday

  morn

  

  CHORUS:

        D                                                    A

  They say I'm the root of all evil                I bring lust, power and

  greed

                                       G                 

  D                  A

  But this Workin' Man's Dollar only buys the things  A workin' man really

  needs

  

  Verse:

  A                               G                   D               

  G     A

  Well, they say I'm worth about fifty-cents         In this modern

  inflated age

  A                          G                        D               

  G     A

  But don't tell that to the young man slavin'      To make it on a

  minimum wage

  A                         G                            D            

  G     A

  Or that single workin' mother             She's been scapin' to make

  ends meet

                                  G                     

  D                   A

  To make a house a home   Keep food on the table   And shoes on her

  baby's feet

  A                           G                          D            

  G     A

  Well, I know my days are numbered      I'm gettin' threadbare and

  wearin' thin

  A                              G                               

  D          A

  And they'll replace me with another                    But I'd do it all

  again

  A                               G  

  Cuz I've seen this great big country

                D                A

  Passed from hand to callused hand

  A                               G

  And I've got to say that I'm mighty proud 

            D           G      A

  That I belong to a workin' man

  

  REPEAT CHORUS
