Verse 1
All (G major) around
I hear (C major) the sound of (G major) money
But I ain't got a nickel (D major) to my (G major) name
And everywhere I look (C major) I see tempta (G major) tion
She stands on every corner (D major)
and calls my name (G major)
Now won't you tell (C major) me if you can
Cause life's so hard (G major) to understand
Why's the rich (D major) man busy dancing
While the (G major) poor man plays the band
Oh, they're (C major) building me or killing (G major) me
Lord, (D major) have mercy on the working man (G major)
Uncle Sam's got his (C major) hands in my pockets (G major)
And he helps himself
each time (D major) he needs a (G major) dime
Them politicians treat (C major) me
like a (G major) mushroom
Cause they feed me bull
and keep (D major) me in the (G major) blind
Now won't you tell (C major) me if you can
Cause life's so (G major) hard to understand
Why's the rich (D major) man busy dancing
While the (G major) poor man pays the band
Oh, they're (C major) billin' me
For killin' (G major) me
Lord, (D major) have mercy on the workin'
(G major) man (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
Hey St. Peter, (C major) look down for a (G major) minute
And see this little man
(D major) about to drown (G major)
There's quicksand all around
(C major) And man I'm (G major) in it
Please help me up Lord
Cause (D major) I'm going down (G major)
Now won't you tell (C major) me if you can
Cause life's so (G major) hard to understand
Why's the rich (D major) man busy dancing
While the (G major) poor man pays the band
Oh, they're (C major) billing me
For killing (G major) me
Lord (D major) have mercy on
the working man (G major)
Won't you tell (C major) me if you can,
cause life's so hard (G major) to understand
Why's the fat (D major) man busy dancing,
while the (G major) thin man pays the band
Oh, they're (C major) building me, or killing (G major) me
