C
At the local diner
Dm
just outside of town
G
He comes in a hour early just to
C G
beat the morning crowd
C
He stares out his window and
Dm
stirs his coffee cup
G
Another day another dollar
C
short of catching Up
Dm F
Same old job, same old dull
G
routine
Dm F
In his heart he knows what it
G
brings
[Chorus]
C
A two bedroom house for his
Dm
family of three
F G
He’s giving his all making Ends meet
C
A second hand car a washing
Dm
machine
F
They may not have much, but he
G
gets what they need
C
With the hands of a working
G
man
[Verse 2]

Down at the factory
Dm
standing in line
G
He waits to punch the time clock,
C G
a million worries on his mind
C
Oh, Jimmy?needing braces
Dm
and Bettys needing time
G
And the problems that he’s facing
C G
they’re all building up inside

A two bedroom house for his

A second hand car a washing
Dm

With the hands of a working

But in his heart he knows what
