[Verse]
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

[Verse]
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

E A
Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind

[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

E A
Please help me up Lord cause I'm goin' down
