Early  in the morning  I could smell  that diesel burning
 and I'd watch  him and his  old truck, go rumbling  down the road.
 And later  on in the evening,  in the distance  I would hear  him
 like lightning  I'd go straight  out that front door.
 Into the hands  of a working man  life was easy,  to understand,
 now looking back  on who  I am,  right there  in the hands  of a working man
I  can still remember  it was a cold  day in December
 I walked  into the kitchen  I saw a tear  rolling down his face
 he was sitting  with my Mother  they were leaning  on each other
 I listened  there she whispered  I have faith
 You know the more  I see the deeper  I believe, the best  place for this world to be
 is in the hands  of a working man,  where love is easy  to understand
  now looking back  from where  I am,  there I am,  in the hands  of a working man
 This world turns  in the hand  of a working man
 This is played on piano so I think I have it pretty close for guitar, thanks for the requests

[G]Early in the [D/F#]morning I could [Em]smell that diesel [C]burning
and I'd [G]watch him and [Em]his old truck, go [G]rumbling down the [D]road.
And [G]later on in the [D/F#]evening, in the [Em]distance I would [C]hear him
like [G]lightning I'd go [D]straight out that front [G]door.

Into the [G]hands of a [C]wo[Em]rking [D]man[Dsus4]     life was e[C]asy,[Em] to u[G]nderstand[D],
now looking [G]back on [C]who[Em] I [D]am[Dsus4],   right t[C]here in the h[D]ands of a working m[G]an

[C]    [Em]   [D]  [Dsus4]

[G]I can still [D/F#]remember it was a [Em]cold day in [C]December
I [G]walked into the [Em]kitchen I saw a [G]tear rolling down his [D]face
he was [G]sitting with my [D/F#]Mother they were [Em]leaning on each [C]other
I [G]listened there she [D]whispered I have [G]faith

[C]    [Em]   [D]  [Dsus4]  [C] [Em]    [G]       [D]

You know the [C]more I see the [Em]deeper I believe, the [C]best place for this world to [D]be
is in the [G]hands of a [C]wo[Em]rking [D]man, where love is [C]ea[Em]sy to [G]understan[D]d
 now looking [G]back from [C]where[Em] I [D]am[Dsus4],    there I a[C]m, in the h[D]ands of a working m[G]an

This world [C]turns in the [D]hand of a working [G]man  [C]     [Em]          [D]              [Dsus4]                    [G]
