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 (x3101x@1) BbNo (x1333x@1)I never can understand it Cm (x3101x@1) BbThe (x1333x@1)way the system plan CmThere's (x3101x@1)no hope, no chance Bb (x1333x@1) Cm (x3101x@1) Bb (x1333x@1)No loophole, no escape for a suffering man Eb (x43121@3) CmCause (x3101x@1)every time I lift my head above water Eb (x43121@3) CmAnd (x3101x@1)try to save myself from drown Eb (x43121@3) CmThere's (x3101x@1)an overnight scheme all worked out Eb (x43121@3) BbDesigned (x1333x@1)to keep ah me down Ab (xx1114@1) BbStill (x1333x@1)I'm (putting up a resistance) Eb (x43121@3) AbI'm (xx1114@1)ah gonna work it out Ab (xx1114@1) BbYou (x1333x@1)know I'm (putting up a resistance) Eb (x43121@3) BbI've (x1333x@1)got to work it out Cm (x3101x@1) BbNo (x1333x@1)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!
