G
Sittin' alone in the dark, wastin' my time in a park 
       C                G
'cause I got nowhere to go 

had me a job til the market fell out 

tried hard to borrow but there was no help 
    C                   G
now I've got nowhere to go 
 
Chorus 
C                D
I need a job for these two hands 
              C                   G
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go 
G
One last look at the land, auctioneer with his gavel in hand 
    C                     G
and he says, "it's got to go" 

worked this piece all my life 

it broke my heart then took my wife 
    C                   G
now I've got nothin' to show 

Chorus 
Em                      C
Wandered aimless in the city 
                                 D                G    C G
with my dirt workin' boot and my ol' straw hat in hand  
F# Em                   C
singin' a song by Woody Guthrie 
                                 D
this land is your land; it ain't my land 
N.C.            C                   G
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go 
G
I was born to the sunrise, breaking back all day 
    C                     G   C G
now I've got something to say  

I am broke but not broken 
                                C
I am not alone 'cause there's a lot of folks 
                G
with nowhere to go 
C                      D
Are they ever going to understand 
                          C
you can't leave a workin' man 
                G
with nowhere to go 
C                      D
Are they ever going to understand 
                          C
you can't leave a workin' man 
                G
with nowhere to go
