[Intro]
G Cmaj7 C Cmaj7

[Verse]
G
Sittin' alone in the dark
G
Wastin' my time in a park
C
'Cause I've got
G
Nowhere to go

[Verse]
G
Had me a job 'til the market fell out

Tried hard to borrow but there was no help
C
Now I've got
G
Nowhere to go

[Chorus]
C D
I need a job for these two hands
C
I'm a workin' man
G Cmaj7
With nowhere to go

[Verse]
G C/G
One last look at my land
G
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand
C G
And he says, "It's got to go"

[Verse]
G
Worked this piece all my life

It broke my heart and it took my wife
C G
Now I've got nothing to show

[Chorus]
C D
I need a job for these two hands
C
I'm a workin' man
G
With nowhere to go

[Verse]
Em C
Wandered aimless in the city

With my dirt workin' boots
D G
And my old straw hat in hand

[Verse]
Em C
Singing a song by Woody Guthrie

This land is your land
D
It ain't my land

[Chorus]
C
I'm a workin' man
G
With nowhere to go

[Break]
G C G

[Verse]
G
I was born to the sunrise

Breaking back all day
C
Now I've got
G
Something to say

[Verse]
G
I am broke but not broken

And I am not alone
C
'Cause there's a lot of folks
G
With nowhere to go

[Chorus]
C D
Are they ever gonna understand
C
You can't leave a workin' man
G
Nowhere to go

[Chorus]
C D
Are they ever gonna understand
C
You can't leave a workin' man
G C
Nowhere to go
G C
Nowhere to go
G C
Nowhere to go

[Outro]
G C G
Nowhere to go
G C G
Nowhere to go
G C G
Nowhere to go
G C G
Nowhere to go
