[Intro: ]G D G 

G              D             G 
Forty years we labor on this chain  
C                G                D 
Workin' much too hard for what we gain  
G             D                Em   C 
You and I, we taste the bitter end  
G             D                 G   
Workin' forty years for another man  

G                   D             G 
Got no name, just a number in the book  
C              G              D 
Friendly faces hide the royal look  
G               D                Em    C 
Nothin' down on you, it's such a shame  
G             D                 G 
Workin' forty years for another man  

C     D           G          C 
Forty years, forty long long years  
C        D                  G 
Give the man your blood and   sweat and tears  

G                  D           G 
Cash your check on Friday afternoon  
C                 G                D 
Sunday night your money's gone too soon  
G                 D              Em    C 
For your children will it be the same?  
G             D                 G 
Workin' forty years for another man
