C5                  D5 
At the local diner just outside of town 
   G5                             C5                      G5 
He comes in a hour early just to beat the morning crowd 
   C5                         D5 
He stares out his window and stirs his coffee cup 
        G5                  C5 
Another day another dollar short of catchin?p 
 

D5            F5                G5 
Same old job, same old dull routine 
D5           F5                G5 
In his heart he knows what it brings 
 

              C5                       D5 
A two bedroom house for his family of three 
                F5               G5 
He?giving his all makin?nds meet 
              C5             D5 
A second hand car a washing machine 
                  F5                           G5 
They may not have much, but he gets what they need 
                    C5              G5 
With the hands of a working man 
 
(Repeat Chords as above) 
 
Down at the factory standing in line 
He waits to punch the time clock, a million worries on his mind 
Oh, Jimmy?needing braces and Betty?needing time 
And the problems that he?facing they? all building up inside 
 
Same old job, same old dull routine 
But in his heart he knows what it brings 
 
A two bedroom house for his family of three 
He?giving his all makin?nds meet 
A second hand car a washing machine 
They may not have much, but he gets what they need 
With the hands of a working man 
 
Same old job, same old dull routine 
But in his heart he knows what it brings 
 
(Change key to 1/2 step higher) 
 
A two bedroom house for his family of three 
He?giving his all makin?nds meet 
A second hand car a washing machine 
They may not have much, but he gets what they need 
With the hands of a working man
