When I get home from work 
     C           G 
I'll call up all my friends 
D            Em            C 
And we'll go bust up something beautiful 
G 
We'll have to build again 
G 
When I get home from work 
     C              G 
I'll wrestle off my clothes 
    D          Em             C 
And leave em right inside the front door 
      G 
Cause nobody's home to know 
        D 
You see a hammer finds a nail 
      C               G       D 
And a freight train needs the rails 
                                    Am 
And I'm doin what I'm on this earth to do 
            Em       D                            C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts 
                           E       C 
I'm just lucky to have the work 
       Em                    D          C 
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church 
                Em      D     C     G 
But I thank God for the work 
G 
When I get my reward 
   C             G 
My work will all be done 
           Em          C 
And I will sit back in my chair beside 
G 
The Father and the Son  
G 
No more holes to fill 
    C       G        D 
And no more rocks to break 
    Em                      C 
And no more loading boxes onto trucks 
G 
For someone else's sake  
D 
Cause a hammer needs a nail 
        C             G 
And the poor man's up for sell 
          D                               Am    Am7 
Guess I'm doing what I'm on this earth to do 
        Em       D                            C 
I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts 
               G           E     D    C 
I'm just lucky to have the work 
          Em         D                     C 
And every night I dream I'm drowning in the dirt 
            Em                D    C 
But I thank God for the work 
    D 
And the day will come 
                 C 
When I'll find a reason 
             D                        C 
And somebody proud to love a man like me 
        D 
My back is numb 
             C 
My hands are freezing 
         D                                  C 
What I'm working for is something more than free 
            Em       D                            C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts 
                           E       C 
I'm just lucky to have the work 
       Em                    D          C 
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church 
                Em      D     C 
But I thank God for the work 
                    G     C    G    C    G 
I thank God for the work
