Hard Working Man - Brooks and Dunn [Intro] [D] [Verse 1] I'm a hard work[D]in' man, I wear a steel hard hat, I can [G] ride, rope, hammer and paint, do [D] things with my hands that most men can't. I [A] can't get ahead no matter how hard I try, I'm getting [D] really good at barely [D] getting by. [Verse 2] Got everything [D] I own by the sweat of my brow, from my [G] four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots, [D] I owe it all to my blue-collar roots. Feel like I'm [A] workin' overtime on a runaway train, I've got [D] to bust loose from this ball and chain. |[Chorus 1] |I'm a [G] hard, [F] hard-workin'[D] man, |I've got it [A] all on the line for a piece of the [D] promised land. |And I'm [G] burnin' my [F] candle at both [D] ends, |about the only way to [A] keep the fire going is to out-run the [D] wind. [Instrumental] [G] [F] [D] [A] [D] [G] [F] [D] [A] [D] [Verse 3] Come Friday [D] night I like to party hard, [G] I carry on with the Cadillac cuties, spend my [D] whole week's pay on some weekend beauty. [A] Come Monday morning I'm the first to arrive, I ain't [D] nothin' but business from nine to five. |[Chorus 2] |I'm a [G] hard, [F] hard-workin' [D] man, |I've got it [A] all on the line for a piece of the [D] promised land. |And I'm [G] burnin' my [F] candle at both [D] ends, |about the only way to [A] keep the fire going is to out-run the [D] wind. |I can't wait to [A] get up in the mornin', and do it all over [D] again, |well, I'm a [A] hard-livin', hard-[D]work[G]in' [D] man.
