Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

 I’ve worked my fingers to the bone

not a pretty little penny have I got to show

I ain’t looking for much

  walkdown

just a little bit of rest by the side of the road

 I lift my voice to the forces above

 the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love

 ain’t I been a good, hard working

INTRO

faithful servant and son

Instrumental

F#7add4 walkdown x2

Chorus

 then the sky turns black

  walkdown

and it cracks with a thundering voice

 work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out

  walkdown

til your final breath falls to the floor

Bridge

so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood

 a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good

get up off the ground

 you can lay down when the day is done

  walkdown

and on the seventh day

INTRO

you can lay in the morning sun

Verse

 I 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

  walkdown

just a little bit of rest before the day that I die

 I lift my voice to the forces above

 the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love

 ain’t I been a good, hard working

INTRO

faithful servant and son

Instrumental

F#7add4 walkdown x2

Chorus

 then the sky turns black

  walkdown

and it cracks with a thundering voice

 work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out

  walkdown

til your final breath falls to the floor

Bridge

so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood

 a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good

get up off the ground

 you can lay down when the day is done

  walkdown

and on the seventh day

 you can lay in the morning sun

note: at the end they sing the bridge on top of the chorus once. listen to the song if you want to figure out how that goes.
