D Bm
There's laundry spinning in machines
G D
And hammers braking heaven hings
D Bm
lunches packed in paper bags
G D
and dirty tables washed with rags
D Bm
midnight shifters stocking shelves
G D
pouring asphalt hot as hell
D Bm
that morning paper's at your door
G D
before your feet can hit the floor
G D
Now we all wake up to different situations
G D
with different collars for our occupations
G A Bm
but ever since the world's been in rotation
G A D
it's been run by humble operations

D Bm
my daddy was a working man
G D
kept his family fed with callused hands
D Bm
he wasn't too proud to sweat or bleed
G D
and he made damn sure that I could see
Chorus
D/ Bm/ D/ Bm
D
So put your shovel in the dirt, sweat on your shirt
Bm
up before the sun, man, just to get it done
D
hard working ladies feeding little babies
Bm
working for the man, doing all they can
D
put in overtime for a nickel and a dime
Bm
if your back is sore keep your head held high
D
you don't give up, you don't give in
Bm
and you built the world we're living in
G
So give it up
Chorus
