Put Me Back To Work

Chris Janson


Tom: Bm

Bm                   G                        D
Bills still gotta be paid, Hay still gotta be raked
                  A                                  Bm
Crops still gotta grow, These are things that we all know
                   G                         D
Trucks still gotta drive, People still gotta thrive
                                A                              Bm
Open up the doors and fill the seats, cause people still gotta eat


[Chorus]

               G                              D
Put me back to work, it's been too damn long enough
                               A                                       Bm
six pounds down from a lack of food, why don't you try walkin in those shoes
                         G                          D
Put my boots back in the dirt, put my hands back on the wheel
              A                     Bm
Take away the hurt, Put me back too work

G   D    A


[Verse 2]

Bm                                 G                                       D
They say they'll shut this country down, That don't work in a little small town
                       A                               Bm
We still got mouths to feed, Whatever happened to bein free
                     G                                D
Death rates up from suicide, Wake up people open your eyes
                     A                                    Bm
We werem't made to stay inside, and I can't watch my country die


[Chorus]

               G                              D
Put me back to work, it's been too damn long enough
                               A                                       Bm
six pounds down from a lack of food, why don't you try walkin in those shoes
                         G                              D
Put my boots back in the dirt, put my hands back on the wheel
              A                     Bm        G
Take away the hurt, Put me back too work
               D        A
Put me back to work


[Bridge]

G                        A
    Remember wolves hunt while you sleep
G                     A
    Being shepard and not a sheep


[Chorus]

               Bm                             G
Put me back to work, it's been too damn long enough
                               D                                       A
six pounds down from a lack of food, why don't you try walkin in those shoes
                        Bm                          G
Put my boots back in the dirt, my hands back on the wheel
              D                        A
Take away the hurt, yeah take away the hurt
                Bm          G
Put me back too work
               D           A
Put me back to work
                Bm          G      D       A     Bm
Put me back too work
