Dm Gm
Give me a job give me security
C Dm
Give me a chance to survive
Gm
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line

My God I'm hardly alive

My mother and father my wife and my friends
C Dm
I see them laugh in my face
Gm
But I've got the power and I've got the will
C A
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those
Dm Gm C Dm
Long nights impossible odds
Bb C Dm
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
Dm Gm C Dm
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Bb C Dm
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Dm Gm
Make me an offer that I can't refuse
C Dm
Make me respectable man
Gm
This is my last time in the unemployment line
C A
So like it or not I'll take those
Dm Gm C Dm
Long nights impossible odds
Bb C Dm
Keeping my back to the wall
Dm Gm C Dm
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Bb C Dm
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man
C
Keeping my mind on a better life
Bb Dm
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Dm C
Paradise can it be all I heard it was
Bb A
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
