Em
I’ve worked my fingers to the bone
Em
not a pretty little penny have I got to show
Em
I ain’t looking for much
B
just a little bit of rest by the side of the road
Em
I lift my voice to the forces above
A
the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
Em B
ain’t I been a good, hard working
( Em F#7(11) G6 Em )
( Em F#7(11) G6 Em )
Em F#7(11)
then the sky turns black
G6 Em
and it cracks with a thundering voice
Em F#7(11)
work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out
G6 Em
til your final breath falls to the floor
Em A
so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood
Em
a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good
get up off the ground
A
you can lay down when the day is done
B
and on the seventh day
you can lay in the morning sun
Em
I want to make my home on a mountain high
Em
just me and my lover and the big old sky
Em
I ain’t asking for much
B
just a little bit of rest before the day that I die
Em
I lift my voice to the forces above
A
the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
Em B
ain’t I been a good, hard working
faithful servant and son

and it cracks with a thundering voice
