In The Hands of A Working Man-Johnny Reid
(Capo on 3rd Fret) Chords by Kenny Perry by request

G5            D5            E5                C5
Early in the morning I could smell that diesel burning 
        G5             E5                G5                 D5
and I'd watch him and his old truck, go rumbling down the road.
    G5               D5            E5               C5
And later on in the evening, in the distance I would hear him
     G5                D5                       G5
like lightning I'd go straight out that front door. 

Chorus:
         G5          C5 E5    D5  D5          C5   E5   G5        D5
Into the hands of a working man     life was easy, to understand,
            G5       C5  E5 D5 D5      C5            D5                  G5
now looking back on who I am ,   right there in the hands of a working man 

C5    E5   D5  D5

G5           D5              E5          C5
I can still remember it was a cold day in December 
  G5               E5              G5                     D5
I walked into the kitchen I saw a tear rolling down his face
       G5               D5             E5              C5
he was sitting with my Mother they were leaning on each other 
  G5                  D5                G5
I listened there she whispered I have faith 

Chorus:

C5    E5   D5  D5  C5 E5    G5       D5
  
             C5              E5                    C5                            D5            
You know the more I see the deeper I believe, the best place for this world to be 
          G5          C5 E5    D5                  C5 E5    G5        D5
is in the hands of a working man, where love is easy to understand
             G5         C5    E5 D5 D5         C5          D5                  G5
 now looking back from where I am ,    there I am , in the hands of a working man

           C5            D5                 G5    C5  E5   D5   D5 G5
This world turns in the hand of a working man
