Am C Dm E
[Verse 1]
Am
Oh, he wakes up early
C
Early in the morning
Dm
While everyone is snoring
E
He gets his engine roaring
Am
And he walks out the front door
C
Everything is quiet
Dm
Streets empty and silent
E
Just the way he likes it
Am
When he gets to work
C
Nobody claps or cheers
Dm
Yeah, he just punches in
E
Like he does every year
Am
And when he does a good job
C
Ain't no pats on the back
Dm
And he just clocks out for lunch
E
And he grabs a sandwich from his sack
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7/A Am
And that's cause he's the hard-working man
C C6 C
Goes to work with his tools in his hand
Dm
He's out there feeding his fam
E
I know sometimes it seem like no one gives a damn
Am Fmaj7/A Am
So I wrote this one for the hard-working man
C C6 C
Goes to work with his tools in his hand
Dm
He's out there feeding his fam
E
I know sometimes it seem like no one gives a damn
Am
So raise your glass up for the hard-working man
[Verse 2]
C
Goes back to work, but no one hollers "Encore!"
Dm
Yeah, even though they want more
E Eb9 E Eb9 E
They've come to expect it
Am
Yeah, he just punches back in
C
And finishes the workday
Dm
For the girl who took his surname
E Eb9 E Eb9 E
Who grew up with him in his birthplace
Am
And when he leaves work
C
His knees and knuckles ache
Dm
But someone's gotta do work
E Eb9 E Eb9 E
To put food up on the plate
Am
And when he gets home
C
He's greeted with more problems
Dm
But he just gotta solve 'em
Eb9 E Eb9 E
A door that keeps revolving
[Chorus]
Am
And that's cause he's the hard-working man
C
Goes to work with his tools in his hand
Dm
He's out there feeding his fam
E
I know sometimes it seem like no one gives a damn
Am
So I wrote this one for the hard-working man
C
Goes to work with his tools in his hand
Dm
He's out there feeding his fam
E
I know sometimes it seem like no one gives a damn
Am
So raise your glass up for the hard-working man
C
Goes to work with his tools in his hand
Dm
He's out there feeding his fam
E
I know sometimes it seem like no one gives a damn
Am
So I wrote this one for the hard-working man
C
He goes to work with his tools in his hand
Dm
He's out there feeding his fam
E
I know sometimes it seem like no one gives a damn
[Outro]
Am Asus4 Am
So I wrote this one for the hard-working man
