Working Man Chords

[Verse 1]
        D             D         A              A
There's a river made of gold and silver in the hills
         A             A               G            D
There's a ladder if we find it, but we likely never will
        D            D           A       A
There's water at the bottom, it trickles down the rungs
          A             A          G           D
Drippin' to the tune of just enough to pay the bills
 
 
[Chorus]
 D      G      D              A         A
Money fills canyons in the pockets of a few
        A           A            G               D
That's the way it flows in the red, white, and blue
         D    G     D          D               G
While every mile of railroad, all across the land
      G             D           D      D
Is a long life of labor for a working man
 
 
[Verse 2]
         D            D             A             A
It would surely be a wonder  for a man to build alone
          A          A               G            D
All the rails and steel and dig the oil that he owns
          D            D           A           A
But the riches of the world are carried all along
         A             A       G            D
On the back of every man who works to the bone
 
 
[Chorus]
 D      G      D              A         A
Money fills canyons in the pockets of a few
        A           A            G               D
That's the way it flows in the red, white, and blue
         D    G     D          D               G
While every mile of railroad, all across the land
      G             D           D      D
Is a long life of labor for a working man
 
 
[Bridge]
       D               D              A            A
As we try to make the mortgage, the bank gets the news
       A             A             G             D
Of a check from the capitol, it's all theirs to use
            D             D          A              A
Yes, it's always you and me and Uncle Sam pitchin' in
       A                 A        
They just don't call 'em handouts 
              G             D
when they're all wearin' suits
 
 
[Chorus]
 D      G      D              A         A
Money fills canyons in the pockets of a few
        A           A            G               D
That's the way it flows in the red, white, and blue
         D    G     D          D               G
While every mile of railroad, all across the land
      G             D           D      D
Is a long life of labor for a working man
