Subject: Workin' Man

Workin' Man Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

[G] Sittin' alone in the dark, wastin' my time in a park
'cause [C] I got nowhere to [G] go
had me a job til the market fell out
tried hard to borrow but there was no help
now [C] I've got nowhere to [G] go

Chorus
[C] I need a job for [D] these two hands
I'm a workin' [C] man with nowhere to [G] go

[G] One last look at the land, auctioneer with his gavel in hand
and [C] he says, "it's got to [G] go"
worked this piece all my life
it broke my heart then took my wife
now [C] I've got nothin' to [G] show

Chorus
[Em] Wandered aimless in the [C] city
with my dirt workin' boot and my [D] ol' straw hat in [G] hand [C][G]
[F#][Em] singin' a song by Woody [C] Guthrie
this land is your land; it ain't [D] my land
[NC] I'm a workin' [C] man with nowhere to [G] go

[G] I was born to the sunrise, breaking back all day
now [C] I've got something to [G] say [C][G]
I am broke but not broken
I am not alone 'cause there's a [C] lot of folks
with nowhere to [G] go

[C] Are they ever going to [D] understand
you can't leave a workin' [C] man
with nowhere to [G] go

[C] Are they ever going to [D] understand
you can't leave a workin' [C] man
with nowhere to [G] go
