Strum
D-DU-UDU
Working  hard to make a living, bringing shelter  from the rain
 A fathers  son left to carry  on, blue denim  in his veins
Oh  oh oh  he's a working class man
 well he's a steel  town disciple, he's a legend  of his kind, he's running  like
 a cyclone  across the wild  mid western sky
oh  oh oh  he's a working class man
 he believes  in god and elvis  he gets  out when he can
 he did  his time in Vietnam,  still mad  at uncle sam
 he's a simple  man with a heart  of gold in a complicated  land
oh  he's  a working class  man
, , , , ]
well  he loves a little woman someday  he'll make his wife
saving  all the overtime  for the one  love of his life
 he ain't worried  about tomorrow
 cause he just  made up his mind
life's  too short for burning  bridges
take  it one day at a time
oh  oh oh  he's a working class  man
oh  oh oh he's  a working class man..  oh yeah,  yes he is
 well he's a working class man
 Oh,  na na  na (etc)
 I tell  you he's a working class man
 Chords over:
 END:
 I tell  you he's a working class man
