Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

From what i can tell, this song is supposed to be played with a capo on the first fret,
my guitar teacher is always saying that capos are for people who can't play bar chords,
i i figured it out with bar chords instead. so here goes, hope this sounds right...

written by Jerry Chestnut
performed by Johnny Cash

G#
intro, spoken:
I dedicate this song to the workin' man
For ever' man that puts in a hard
Eight or ten hours a day of work and toil and sweat
Always got somebody lookin' down his neck
Tryin' to get more out of 'im
Than he really ought to have to put in.

G#
After twenty nine long years

of workin' in this shop
A#7
with Oney standing over me
D#7
Today when that old whistle blows,
G#
I'll check in all my gear, and I'll retire.
G#
The superintendant just stopped by
A#7
and said they planned my little get-together
D#7
and then he said I'd never have made it
G#
if old Oney hadn't of held me to the fire

G#
I've seen him in my dreams at night
A#7
and woke up in the morning feeling tired.
D#7
And old Oney don't remember, when i came here,
G#
how he tried to get me fired...
G#
With his folded hands behind him,
A#7
every morning, Oney waited at the gate...
D#7
where he'd rant and rave like i committed murder
G#
clockin' in five minutes late.

A#
But today they'll gather 'round me
B#7
like I've seen 'em do when any man retires,
F7
and old Oney's gonna tell me,
A#
from now on, I'm free to do what i desire.
A#
He'll present me with that little old gold watch
B#7
they give a man a times like this,
F7
but there's one thing he's not countin' on...
A#
today's the day i give old Oney his! hahahahaha!

C#
I've been workin' buildin' muscles,
A#7
Oney's just been standin' 'round, and gettin' soft,
G#7
and today about 4:30, I'll make up for every
C#
good night's sleep I've lost...
C#
When I'm gone, I'll be remembered
A#7
as the workin' man that put his point across...
G#7
With a right hand full of knuckles,

today's the day I show old Oney
C#
who's the boss!

(just keep strumming C#)
Hmmmmmmm, what time is it? 4:30? Heeeeeyyyy Oney! Oney! haha!
