Verse 1
D 
I saw this man on
Am 
TV talking about losing his job
F 
D 
after 25 years.
Dm 
Now he was a middle -aged blue -collar worker,
D 
and you could sense his pain.
This was in
G 
D 
Chicago, the home of the blues.
F 
D 
So I wrote this song for him,
and maybe for you.
F 
D 
He had a name hard to pronounce
Am 
F 
D 
And a sadness, a source,
G 
fell right out of his mouth
E 
D 
When he said his name,
Am 
C 
D

and  you could sense his pain
D 
A  blue collar worker caught
F 
G 
in the shape of a game
D 
Am 
That he cannot explain
A 
And there ain't much you can do
G 
When they say your job is through
Em 
D 
G 
He's a white cat with a blue collar
D 
G 
D 
Can't never lose
Am 
Now he's heard it all before
C 
D 
The business of buyouts, bailouts
G 
Means you got to go
No, no, no, no
D 
A 
Am 
They don't need you, no, no
F 
D 
Now his home is
C 
F 
D 
Chicago, the home of the blues
C 
What is his only point?
G 
D 
Middle -aged white man gonna do, yeah
A 
So he's off to his favorite bar
G 
Where he can tell his friends

no more
D 
He's a white man with the blues
