Hard Working Man - Brooks and Dunn

[Intro]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I'm a hard work[D]in' man, I wear a steel hard hat,
I can [G] ride, rope, hammer and paint,
do [D] things with my hands that most men can't.
I [A] can't get ahead no matter how hard I try,
I'm getting [D] really good at barely [D] getting by.

[Verse 2]
Got everything [D] I own by the sweat of my brow,
from my [G] four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots,
[D] I owe it all to my blue-collar roots.
Feel like I'm [A] workin' overtime on a runaway train,
I've got [D] to bust loose from this ball and chain.

|[Chorus 1]
|I'm a [G] hard, [F] hard-workin'[D] man,
|I've got it [A] all on the line for a piece of the [D] promised land.
|And I'm [G] burnin' my [F] candle at both [D] ends,
|about the only way to [A] keep the fire going is to out-run the [D] wind.

[Instrumental]
[G] [F] [D] [A] [D]
[G] [F] [D] [A] [D]

[Verse 3]
Come Friday [D] night I like to party hard,
[G] I carry on with the Cadillac cuties,
spend my [D] whole week's pay on some weekend beauty.
[A] Come Monday morning I'm the first to arrive,
I ain't [D] nothin' but business from nine to five.

|[Chorus 2]
|I'm a [G] hard, [F] hard-workin' [D] man,
|I've got it [A] all on the line for a piece of the [D] promised land.
|And I'm [G] burnin' my [F] candle at both [D] ends,
|about the only way to [A] keep the fire going is to out-run the [D] wind.
|I can't wait to [A] get up in the mornin', and do it all over [D] again,
|well, I'm a [A] hard-livin', hard-[D]work[G]in' [D] man.
