G / / / D7 / / / G / / / 2 / / /

D7 G
40 years we labor on this chain
C G D
Workin` much too hard for what we gain
G D7 Em
You and I, we taste the bitter end
G D7 G
Workin` 40 years for another man

Verse 2:
Got no name, just a number in the book
Friendly faces hide the royal look
Nothin` down on you, it`s such a shame
Workin` 40 years for another man

CHORUS:
C G C
40 years 40-- long long years
G
Give the man your blood and sweat and tears
D7 G
Cash your check on Friday afternoon
C G D
Sunday night your money`s gone too soon
G D7 Em
For your children, will it be the same?
G D7 G
Workin` 40 years for another man

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)
