  				E 
I'm a hard workin' man; I wear a steel hard hat 
	A 
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint 
E 
Do things with my hands that most men can't 
B7 
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try 
	E 
I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by 

Got everything I own by the sweat of my brow 
From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots 
I owe it all to my blue collar roots 
I feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train 
I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain 
	A	C	E	 
I'm a hard, hard workin man 
	B7	E 
I got it all on the line for a peace of the promised land 
	A	C	E 
I'm burnin' my candle at both ends 
	B7	E 
'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin', is to outrun the wind 
Come Friday night, I like to party hard 
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties 
Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty 
Come Monday mornin' I'm the first to arrive 
I ain't nothin' but business from nine till five 

(Chorus) 

	B7	E 
I can't wait to get up in the mornin' and do it all over again 
	B7	E 
Well I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man
