Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Workin’ Man guitar chord

(G) Sittin' alone in the dark, wastin' my time in a park

'cause (C) I got nowhere to (G) go

had me a job til the market fell out

tried hard to borrow but there was no help

now (C) I've got nowhere to (G) go

Chorus

(C) I need a job for (D) these two hands

I'm a workin' (C) man with nowhere to (G) go

(G) One last look at the land, auctioneer with his gavel in hand

and (C) he says, "it's got to (G) go"

worked this piece all my life

it broke my heart then took my wife

now (C) I've got nothin' to (G) show

Chorus

(Em) Wandered aimless in the (C) city

with my dirt workin' boot and my (D) ol' straw hat in (G) hand (C)(G)

(F#)(Em) singin' a song by Woody (C) Guthrie

this land is your land; it ain't (D) my land

(NC) I'm a workin' (C) man with nowhere to (G) go

(G) I was born to the sunrise, breaking back all day

now (C) I've got something to (G) say (C)(G)

I am broke but not broken

I am not alone 'cause there's a (C) lot of folks

with nowhere to (G) go

(C) Are they ever going to (D) understand

you can't leave a workin' (C) man

with nowhere to (G) go

(C) Are they ever going to (D) understand

you can't leave a workin' (C) man

with nowhere to (G) go
