Capo 2
(Intro) D G A (2x)
D G A
Laced up boots,faded jeans.
D G A
Homemade sandwich, and half a jug of tea.
D G A
Average joe, average pay.
D G A
Same old end, same old day.
(Chorus)
D G A
But there's nothin' wrong with a hard hat and hammer.
D G A
That kind of glue that sticks this world together.
D G A
Hands of steel, and cradle of the promised land...
A (let it ring out)
God bless the workin' man.
D G A (2x)
D G A
All week long, making a livin'.
D G A
Life keeps taking, he keeps giving
D G A
Behind the scene, below the grade
D G A
Hardly noticed but part of everything
(Chorus)
D G A
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
D G A
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
D G A
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
A (let it ring out)
God bless the working man
(Solo) D G A (3x)
D G A
He gives his life then fades away
D G A
Another young man takes his place
D G A
Average Joe, average pay
D G A
Same ol end, same old' day
(Chorus)
D G A
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
D G A
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
D G A
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
D G A
No, there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
D G A
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
D G A
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
A (let it ring out)
God bless the working man

Oh, the working man and woman
