Hands Of A Working Man

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 catchin?p 
 
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 
He?giving his all makin?nds 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, Jimmy?needing braces and Betty?needing time 
And the problems that he?facing they? 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 
He?giving his all makin?nds 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

A two bedroom house for his family of three 
He?giving his all makin?nds 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
