Dadd4add9: x54030
[Verse]
     G 
When I get home from work 
       C               G 
I'll call up all my friends 
     G/F#     Em7                  C 
And we'll go bust up something beautiful 
        G 
we'll have to build again  
     G 
When I get home from work 
        C              G 
I'll wrestle off my clothes 
     G/F#     Em7               C 
And leave em right inside the front door 
          G 
'cause nobody's home to know  
             D 
You see a hammer finds a nail 
         C                      G 
And a freight train needs the rails 
          D                           Am7 
And I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do
[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts 
                            Em7  D C Cmaj7 
I'm just lucky to have the work 
          Em7            D               C 
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church 
                         Em7 D C 
But I thank God for the work
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
     G                    C                G 
When I get my reward my work will all be done 
   G/F#     Em7             C                 G 
And I will sit back in my chair beside the father and the son 
 G                         C                 G 
No more holes to fill and no more rocks to break 
   G/F#        Em7         C                   G 
And no more loading boxes on the trucks for someone else's sake 
             D 
'Cause a hammer needs a nail 
          C                 G 
And the poor man's up for sale 
            D                           Am7 
Guess I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do
[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts 
                            Em7  D C Cmaj7 
I'm just lucky to have the work 
           Em7                 D              C 
And every night I dream I'm drowning in the dirt 
                         Em7 D C 
But I thank God for the work
[Bridge]
               Dadd4add9                  C 
And the day will come when I'll find a reason 
           Dadd4add9                   C 
And somebody proud to love a man like me 
         Dadd4add9                C 
My back is numb, my hands are freezing 
        Dadd4add9                             C 
What I'm working for is something more than free
[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts 
                            Em7  D C Cmaj7 
I'm just lucky to have the work 
          Em7            D               C 
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church 
                         Em7 D C 
But I thank God for the work  
 
But I thank God for the work
[Outro]
