          HANDS OF A WORKING MAN     Ty Herndon

C                                   Dm    G
At the local diner  Just outside of town  He comes in an hour early
G                          C      G
Just to beat the morning crowd 
C                                              Dm
He stares out the window  and stirs his coffee cup 
G                            F                C
Another day another dollar Short of catching up
F                               G
Same old job same old dull rou-tine
    F                               G
But in his heart he knows what it brings
CHORUS:
                 C                       Em 
A two bed room house  for his family of three
                 F               G
He's givin' his all making ends meet
               C                Em
A second hand car  A washing machine
                      F                          G
1.)They may not have much but he gets what they need
2.)They don't   have much but he gets what they need
           F                 C
With the hands of a working man
C                                Dm       G 
Down at the factory Standing in line He waits to punch the time clock
F                      C     G  
Making worries on his mine 
     C                                         Dm
Oh Jimmy's needing braces and Betty's needing time
           G                        F                       C
And the problems that he's facing They're all building up inside
F                                G 
Same old job same old dull rou-tine
    F                              G  
But In his heart he know what it brings     go to chorus using 2.)

Same old job same old dull rou-tine  But in his heart he knows what it brings key change

A two bed room house  for his family of three
                 F#             G#  
He's givin' his all making ends meet 
              C#               Fm  
A second hand car  A washing machine
                 F#                         G#
