Standard Tuning-
Key of C5

Intro:
C5 C5 C5 C5 x2
(basically play C and add your 4th finger one fret above your ring finger,
you can almost always pull this trick off, no matter the key)

(had a hard time finding the lyrics,
figured these out on my own and they might not be correct.)
Song:
C5                              C5               C5
you left for work each morning before the sun came up
C5                                  C5           C5
you put your forty years in but it wasn't quite enough
C5                               C5       C5
you put a couple bucks down when you got a hutch
       C5                         C5      C5
and I never heard you complaining all that much

A5                  F5              G5
It hits me in the spring of every year
A5                        F5      G5
I think about you and I wonder where
A5                          F5         G5
Your life has taken you are you still here
A5                               F5          E5     C5
I thought your work was done but now it'd become clear to me

F5 C5
...To me!

Every day you walked back to brand back with your lunch
                              F5               C5
I never said that much but it must have been enough
                                                 F5               C5
you have some skits and mats(???) and pills and had to be real tough
                                          F5        C5
And I never heard you talking 'bout your life too much

          F5    G5         C5
Did you always speak the truth?
          F5     G5         C5

Now I've grown up I got a family on my own
                                          F5        C5
I go to work each morning and I tip the weight of stone
                                       F5           C5
I took those to the stock(?) and I'm feeling all alone
                                        F5             C5
I think about the way you worked your fingers to the bone

(ending: Play the ending part over and over until you feel like not doing that anymore,
then do C5 to F5 , to C5 , and HEY!)

First Tab, As I said, the lyrics are a bit off.
Or maybe a lot off. Feel free to PM me better ones ;)
