[Verse 1]
AWell, I'm just a Workin' Man's DollarG  
DIn the pocket of his old blue jeans
AI ain't like my Wall Street brotherG  
DHe's in a bank so shiny and clean
AWell, I'm faded and I'm wrinkledG  
DTattered and stained with sweat
[Bridge 1]
BAut I'm the 1st one called when Uncle SaGm Needs a hand Dwith the
National Debt    A   G  D  
[Verse 2]
AI've been wages for the farm haGnd
DFor drivin' an old John Deere
AI've been laid on a bar in a tavernG  
DTo buy a workin' man an ice-cold beer
AI've been tipped to a truck-stop waitressG  
DTaped where I was torn
[Bridge 2]
And in tAhe hand of a child I waGs laid on a plate
In a churDch on Sunday morn   A   A  A  A  A  
[Chorus]
GThey say I'm the root of all evil
I Dbring lust, power and greed
BCut this Workin' Man's Dollar only Gbuys the things
A workin' man really needsA  G  D  A  G  D  
[Verse 3]
AWell, they say I'm worth about fifty-centsG  
IDn this modern inflated age
ABut don't tell that to the young Gman slavin'
DTo make it on a minimum wage
AOr that single workin' motherG  
SDhe's been scapin' to make ends meet

To make a Ahouse a home
Keep foGod on the table
And sDhoes on her baby's feetA  G  D  
Well, I kAnow my days are numberedG  
I'm gettin' thDreadbare and wearin' thin
And they'll Areplace me with anotherG
