Verse 1
G 
Well,
C 
G 
C 
G 
C 
I don't want to hear your ideas,
G 
C 
I find me like it here.
G 
C 
Every man's got his job to do,
Em 
G 
C 
G 
C 
Every man drinks his own beer.
G 
And I'm not too far from foreman,
C 
G 
If I get it, that's okay.
C 
G 
C 
I could buy my wife her own T .V.
Em 
G 
C 
G 
With a foreman's raise in pay
C 
G 
C 
And my wife, she's let herself go some
G 
I've let myself go too
C 
G 
C 
But I still love her like I always did
Em 
G 
C 
There's nothing else to do
Am 
I had two weeks off in August,
Em 
Am 
Em 
we went to Washington, D .C.
Am 
Well, my wife,
Em 
she's got a brother down there
G 
And there were some things
D 
G 
C 
G 
I always wanted to see
C 
G 
We took a greyhound back to Ashland
C 
G 
C 
I  watched the turnpike all the way
G 
C 
And as we left New York behind
Em 
C 
G 
C 
G 
I had no  words to say
C 
G 
Well, my wife nodded off so soon
C 
G 
C 
Slept all the way to the mass line
G 
Well, everything's okay,
C 
I told myself
Em 
G 
Everything is fine
C 
Am 
Em 
And if it hadn't have been for whiskey
Am 
I never would have made it
Em 
through our first few years,
Am 
Em 
but every man breaks down with time
G 
and now those whiskies
D 
G 
C 
G 
are just wheat and beers.
C 
G 
C 
No, I don't wanna hear your ideas,
G 
C 
I finally like it here,
G 
C 
every man's got his job to do,
Em 
G 
C 
G 
every man drinks his own beer
C 
G 
C 
And  I've got the sun in the morning,
G 
I get the cold every night
C 
G 
D 
Well if I had to do it all again,
C 
Em 
I'd have been born in flight
