^{A G D G} Well, ^A I'm just a Workin' Man's Dollar In the pocket of his old blue
jeans
^{A G D G} I ain' ^A t like my Wall Street brother He's in a bank so shiny and
clean
^{A G D G} Well, ^A I'm faded and I'm wrinkled Tattered and stained with
sweat
^{A G D} But I'm the 1st one cal ^A led when Uncle Sam Needs a hand with the
National Debt
^{A G D G} I've b ^A een wages for the farm hand For drivin' an old John
Deere
^{G D G} I've b ^A een laid on a bar in a tavern To buy a workin' man an
ice-cold beer
^{G D} I've been tipped to ^A a truck-stop waitress Taped where I
was torn
^{G D} And in the hand ^A of a child I was laid on a plate In a church on Sunday
morn
CHORUS:
They s ^D ay I'm the root of all evil I bring lu ^A st, power and
greed
^{G D} But this Workin' Ma ^A n's Dollar only buys the things A workin' man really
needs
Verse:
^{A G D G} Well, ^A they say I'm worth about fifty-cents In this modern
inflated age
^{A G D G} But do ^A n't tell that to the young man slavin' To make it on a
minimum wage
^{A G D G} Or tha ^A t single workin' mother She's been scapin' to make
ends meet
^{G D} To make a house a ho ^A me Keep food on the table And shoes on her
baby's feet
^{A G D G} Well, ^A I know my days are numbered I'm gettin' threadbare and
wearin' thin
^{A G D} And they'll ^A replace me with another But I'd do it all
again
^A Cuz I've seen this great big cou ^G ntry
Passed from ha ^D nd to callused ha ^A nd
^A And I've got to say that I'm mig ^G hty proud
That I bel ^D ong to a wor ^G kin' ma ^A n
