Biography:
Steve Moakler has proved himself to be a master pop craftsman. His music is artistic, but accessible; indie roots with mass appeal. Listen to his music, and you too won’t deny his gift for sweet melodies and moving narratives that stick in your head like happy memories. His songs have a maturity you wouldn’t expect from a 23-year old who is quickly emerging as one of the best of a new generation of pop-rock songwriters who call Nashville home.

Hi, this is my first chord. I had never done it till I wanna play this song, but no one did it.
So it may be wrong, I'm apologize about that.
Standard tuning
Intro: D / Bm / G / Bm
D Bm
There's laundry spinning in machines
G D
And hammers braking heaven hings
D Bm
lunches packed in paper bags
G D
and dirty tables washed with rags
D Bm
midnight shifters stocking shelves
G D
pouring asphalt hot as hell
D Bm
that morning paper's at your door
G D
before your feet can hit the floor
Chorus:
G D
Now we all wake up to different situations
G D
with different collars for our occupations
G A Bm
but ever since the world's been in rotation
G A D
it's been run by humble operations
D / Bm / D / Bm
D Bm
my daddy was a working man
G D
kept his family fed with callused hands
D Bm
he wasn't too proud to sweat or bleed
G D
and he made damn sure that I could see
[Chorus]
D / Bm / D / Bm
D
So put your shovel in the dirt, sweat on your shirt
Bm
up before the sun, man, just to get it done
D
hard working ladies feeding little babies
Bm
working for the man, doing all they can
D
put in overtime for a nickel and a dime
Bm
if your back is sore keep your head held high
D
you don't give up, you don't give in
Bm
and you built the world we're living in
G
So give it up
[Chorus]
D / Bm / D / Bm
So it may be wrong, I'm apologize about that.
