CHAIN GANG by SAM COOKE

Written by Sam Cooke and Charles Cooke

G Em
(ooh! aah!) (x2)

I hear somethin` saying
G Em C D
(ooh! aah! ooh! aah!) (x2)

G
(Well, don`t you know)
C G Em G
That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
C D G
That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they`re singing

G Em C D
(ooh! aah! ooh! aah!) (x2)

(Well, don`t you know)
That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

G Em
All day long they work so hard
C D
`till the sun is going down
G Em
Working on the highway and byways
C D
and wearing, wearing a frown
G Em
You hear them moaning their lives away
C D
Then you hear somebody say

That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Can`t you hear them saying
G Em C
Mm, I`m going home one of these days
D G
I`m going home see my woman
Em
Whom I love so dear
C D
But meanwhile I got to work right here

(Well, don`t you know)
That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That`s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they`re singing
G Em C D
my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
G Em
Give me water, I`m thirsty
C D
My work is so hard
