INTRO: Am Em-G Am Em-G Am Em-G

Am Em-G

I never counted on Neputism it wasn't all laid out for me

Am Em-G

I started off from a crawl and worked my way up to my knees

Am Em-G

I know one way of doin' things, I come from that side of life

Am

Where folks don't bathe in the mornin' they take their baths at night

G D Am Em-G

At the end of a long hard day, I'm makin' my way

Am Em-D

I like a row of similar souls on any given Friday night

Am Em-G

And I know there ain't much redemption in drinkin' beer and tellin' lies

Am Em-G

But it's a damned good way for a good ol' boy to know that he ain't alone

Am

And forget the pile of B.S. he put up with all week long

G D Am

And when the boys ask me how I am I say, I'm makin' my way

CHORUS:

G

Yeah and I ain't never caught the view from the window of a king

Am

But the common man don't tend to miss what he ain't never seen

G D G-Em

Yeah I ain't got it bad as some, but then I ain't quite got it made

Am Em-G

But I'm makin' my way

Am

Yeah I'm makin' my way

SOLO (CHORUS chords)

Am Em-G

You know there's a lot of able-bodied takers out there in that welfare line

Am

But you can bet Uncle Sam ain't wipin' this boy's behind

G D Am

Ain't no government cheese on my plate, I'm a-makin' my way

CHORUS

Em] G Am

I know how my bed is made
