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.
