      [Intro]

C


[Verse 1]

               C 
I'm a hard workin' man, I wear a steel hard hat, 
      F 
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint, 
   C 
do things with my hands that most men can't. 
  G 
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try, 
          C                               C 
I'm getting     really good at barely getting by. 
 

[Verse 2]

               C 
Got everything I own by the sweat of my brow, 
        F 
from my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots, 
C 
I owe it all to my blue-collar roots. 
              G 
Feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train, 
         C 
I've got to    bust loose from this ball and chain. 
 

[Chorus 1]

      F     Eb               C 
I'm a hard,     hard-workin' man, 
            G                                  C    
I've got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land. 
        F          Eb             C 
And I'm burnin' my candle at both ends, 
                      G                                     C 
about the only way to keep the fire going is to out-run the wind.

[Verse 3]

             C 
Come Friday night I like to party hard, 
F 
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties, 
         C 
spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty. 
G 
Come Monday morning I'm the first to arrive, 
        C 
I ain't nothin' but business from nine to five. 
 

[Chorus 2]

      F     Eb               C 
I'm a hard,     hard-workin' man, 
            G                                  C    
I've got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land. 
        F          Eb             C 
And I'm burnin' my candle at both ends, 
                      G                                     C 
about the only way to keep the fire going is to out-run the wind.
 
                G                                         C 
I can't wait to get up in the mornin', and do it all over again, 
            G                 C    F  C 
well, I'm a hard-livin', hard-workin' man.
