VERSE:
                EmI’ve worked my fingers to the bone
not a pretty little penny have I got to show
I ain’t looking for much
                                              B        walkdown just a little bit of rest by the side of the road
           EmI lift my voice to the forces above
              Athe Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
                Em         Bain’t I been a good, hard working
                      INTRO
faithful servant and son

INSTRUMENTAL:
Em F#7add4 G6 Em walkdown x2

CHORUS:
         Em        F#7add4then the sky turns black
        G6                       Em walkdownand it cracks with a thundering voice
                 Em                             F#7add4work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out
                G6                  Em walkdowntil your final breath falls to the floor

BRIDGE:
Em                  Aso swing down that sledgehammer through the wood
                            Ema little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good
get up off the ground
             Ayou can lay down when the day is done
            B          walkdownand on the seventh day
                            INTRO
you can lay in the morning sun

VERSE:
                  EmI want to make my home on a mountain high
just me and my lover and the big old sky
I ain’t asking for much
                                                 B      walkdownjust a little bit of rest before the day that I die

           EmI lift my voice to the forces above
              Athe Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
                Em         Bain’t I been a good, hard working
                      INTRO
faithful servant and son
