all the verses and chorus follow the same chord progression. I usually play the C chord at the 8th fret with C in the bass, then slide down to the 6th fret Bb, then just drop down to the 6th fret Eb, I just prefer the sound on my guitar when I keep it in that fret range. I just wanted to create a quick easy to play version to play on my acoustic guitar, so there may be tensions or passing chords that I'm missing in here, but this is close enough to play along with the song, or sing. intro Cm Bb Cm Bb No I never can understand it Cm Bb The way the system plan Cm There's no hope, no chance Bb Cm Bb No loophole, no escape for a suffering man Eb Cm Cause every time I lift my head above water Eb Cm And try to save myself from drown Eb Cm There's an overnight scheme all worked out Eb Bb Designed to keep ah me down Ab Bb Still I'm (putting up a resistance) Eb Ab I'm ah gonna work it out Ab Bb You know I'm (putting up a resistance) Eb Bb I've got to work it out Cm Bb No window, no window I want to stay home tonight I long to spend some time with the family But staying home won't make it right Sometimes the pressure make me feel like hollar When every sign says no way out Breaking my back to make an overtime dollar That just goes from hand to mouth Still I'm (putting up a resistance) I'm gonna work it out You know I'm (putting up a resistance) I've got to work it out Lord I'm (putting up a resistance) I'm ah gonna work it out You know I'm (putting up a resistance) I'm gonna work it out, Lord! Got to fight it Got to fight it No I never can understand it The way the system goes I don't know how they do it There's only one way things flow I don't know how they do it Cause every time I leave my head above water And try to save myself from drowning There's an overnight scheme all worked out Designed to keep ah me down Still I'm (putting up a resistance) I've got to work it out You know I'm (putting up a resistance) I'm gonna work it out now Putting up a resistance I'm gonna work it out No window, no window I want to stay home tonight I'd like to spend some time with the family But staying home won't make it right Sometimes the pressure make me feel like hollar When every sign says no way out Breaking my back to make an overnight dollar That just goes from hand to mouth
