C Dm
At the local diner just outside of town
G C G
He comes in a hour early just to beat the morning crowd
C Dm
He stares out his window and stirs his coffee cup
G C
Another day another dollar short of catchina^ up
Dm F G
Same old job, same old dull routine
Dm F G
In his heart he knows what it brings
C Dm
A two bedroom house for his family of three
F G
Hea^s giving his all makina^ ends meet
C Dm
A second hand car a washing machine
F G
They may not have much, but he gets what they need
C G
With the hands of a working man
(Repeat Chords as above)
Down at the factory standing in line
He waits to punch the time clock, a million worries on his mind
Oh, Jimmya^s needing braces and Bettya^s needing time
And the problems that hea^s facing theya^re all building up inside
Same old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart he knows what it brings
A two bedroom house for his family of three
Hea^s giving his all makina^ ends meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets what they need
With the hands of a working man
Same old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart he knows what it brings
(Change key to 1/2 step higher)
A two bedroom house for his family of three
Hea^s giving his all makina^ ends meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets what they need
With the hands of a working man
