Intro: G D G

G              D             G
Forty years we labor on this chain 
C                G                D
Workin' much too hard for what we gain 
G             D                Em   C
You and I, we taste the bitter end 
G             D                 G  
Workin' forty years for another man 


G                   D             G
Got no name, just a number in the book 
C              G              D
Friendly faces hide the royal look 
G               D                Em    C
Nothin' down on you, it's such a shame 
G             D                 G
Workin' forty years for another man 


C     D           G          C
Forty years, forty long long years 
C        D                  G
Give the man your blood and   sweat and tears 


G                  D           G
Cash your check on Friday afternoon 
C                 G                D
Sunday night your money's gone too soon 
G                 D              Em    C
For your children will it be the same? 
G             D                 G
Workin' forty years for another man
