Flatt & Scruggs - Workin It Out

      [Chorus]
A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                       E7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                     E7     A
I’ve been a long time workin’ it out

[Verse 1]
A                       D7
Spend my life looking for a shoulder
A                       E7
To lay my head on as the nights get colder
A                       D7
Days are getting shorter and I’m a getting older
A                     E7     A
It’s a long time working it out

[Chorus]
A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                       E7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                     E7     A
I’ve been a long time workin’ it out

[Verse 2]
A                       D7
Gotta a little woman to scrub my floors
A                       E7
Down the road got 2 or 3 more
A                       D7
None of them knows about the one next door
A                     E7     A
I’ve been a long time working it

[Chorus]
A                       D7

A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                     E7     A
I’ve been a long time workin’ it out

[Verse 3]
A                       D7
Late one nite I stole me some money
A                       E7
For a diamond ring just to give. My honey
A                       D7
Judge said boy if you think that’s funny
A                     E7     A
I’ve been a long time workin’ it out

[Chorus]
A                     D7
It’s a long time working it out
A                       E7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                     E7     A
I’ve been a long time workin’ it out

[Verse 4]
A                       D7
I look around me and what do I see
A                       E7
The whole wide worlds got troubles like me
A                       D7
Between taxes and thistles and the deep blue see
A                     E7     A
It’s a long time working it out

[Chorus]
A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                       E7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                       D7
I’ve been a long (time) workin’ it out
A                     E7     A
I’ve been a long time workin’ it out
