CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: D C D G C G D
I run a jenny on the [C]back of my [D]truck
And I take my [G]chances and I [C]trust my [G]luck
Well, I [D]may work tomorrow, but I [G]can't be [C]sure[G]
I'm just a [D]common example of the [C]working [D]poor
I pushed a shovel on a [C]building [D]site
And I'm already [G]working when it [C]breaks day[G]light
If I [D]don't keep (moving, I'll [G]freeze bloody) [C]sure[G]
I'm just a [D]common example of the [C]working [D]poor
INSTRUMENTAL: D C D G C G D
I swing a hammer on a [C]rooftop [D]high
I'll be swinging that [G]hammer on the [C]day I [G]die
I can [D]raise your rafters, I can [G]lay your [C]floors[G]
I'm just a [D]common example of the [C]working [D]poor
INSTRUMENTAL: D C D G C G D
I went to school 'til I [C]had my [D]fill
I was born in the [G]shadow of the [C]textile [G]mill
I [D]followed my father to the [G]factory [C]floor[G]
I'm just a [D]common example of the [C]working [D]poor
Just a common example of the [C]working [D]poor
