David Francey - Working Poor
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: D C D G C G D
C D
I run a jenny on the back of my truck
G C G
And I take my chances and I trust my luck
D G C G
Well, I may work tomorrow, but I can't be sure
D C D
I'm just a common example of the working poor
C D
I pushed a shovel on a building site
G C G
And I'm already working when it breaks daylight
D G C G
If I don't keep [moving, I'll freeze bloody] sure
D C D
I'm just a common example of the working poor
INSTRUMENTAL: D C D G C G D
C D
I swing a hammer on a rooftop high
G C G
I'll be swinging that hammer on the day I die
D G C G
I can raise your rafters, I can lay your floors
D C D
I'm just a common example of the working poor
INSTRUMENTAL: D C D G C G D
C D
I went to school 'til I had my fill
G C G
I was born in the shadow of the textile mill
D G C G
I followed my father to the factory floor
D C D
I'm just a common example of the working poor
