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
(Change key to 1/2 step higher)
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
