Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man
Travis Tritt
A D A
All around I hear the sound of money
E A
But I ain't got a nickel to my name
D A
And everywhere I look I see temptation
E A
She stands on every corner and calls my name
CHORUS
D
Now won't you tell me if you can
A
Cause life's so hard to understand
E
Why's the rich man busy dancin'
A
While the poor man pays the band
D A
Oh they're billing me, for killing me
E A
Lord have mercy on the workin' man
A D A
Uncle Sam's got his hand in my pockets
E A
And he helps himself each time he needs a dime
D A
Them politicians treat me like a mushroom
E A
Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind
(Repeat CHORUS)
Instrumental A - D - A
A D A
Hey St. Peter look down for a minute
E A
And see this little man about to drown
D A
There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it
E A
Please help me up Lord cause I'm goin' down
(Repeat CHORUS x2)
