C           G7         C       F 
A dollar an hour eight hours a day 
     C                     D7     G7 
Will soon make a young man wither away 
  C           G7          C           F 
I work for my family with my wrinkled hands 
          C          G7       C 
For I'm a small time laboring man 

                   G7     C          F 
Six long days each week I toil and I sweat 
       C                      D7             G7 
But on Sunday my family gives me comfort and rest 
     C            G7                C             F 
Then again Monday morning I'll make tracks in the sand 
          C          G7       C 
For I'm a small time laboring man 

      F 
I'm a small time laboring man 
         C                           G7 
Fighting against trying as hard as I can 
  C            G7           C            F 
I fight for my country with my calloused hands 
          C          G7       C 
For I'm a small time laboring man 

                        G7      C              F 
Twelve long months each year my life stays the same 
       C                       D7           G7 
Making my honest dollar in the sun snow and rain 
   C                G7            C          F 
No you don't see my family on the starvation plan 
          C          G7       C 
For I'm a small time laboring man
