G
When I get home from work
     C           G
I'll call up all my friends
D            Em            C
And we'll go bust up something beautiful
G
We'll have to build again

G
When I get home from work
     C              G
I'll wrestle off my clothes
    D          Em             C
And leave em right inside the front door
      G
Cause nobody's home to know


[Pre-Chorus]

        D
You see a hammer finds a nail
      C               G       D
And a freight train needs the rails
                                    Am
And I'm doing what I'm on this earth to do


[Chorus]

            Em       D                            C
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
                           E       C
I'm just lucky to have the work
       Em                    D          C
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
                Em      D     C     G
But I thank God for the work


[Verse 2]

G
When I get my reward
   C             G
My work will all be done
           Em          C
And I will sit back in my chair beside
G
The Father and the Son 

G
No more holes to fill
    C       G        D
And no more rocks to break
    Em                      C
And no more loading boxes onto trucks
G
For someone else's sake 


[Pre-Chorus]

D
Cause a hammer needs a nail
        C             G
And the poor man's up for sell
          D                               Am    Am7
Guess I'm doing what I'm on this earth to do


[Chorus]

        Em       D                            C
I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
               G           E     D    C
I'm just lucky to have the work
          Em         D                     C
And every night I dream I'm drowning in the dirt
            Em                D    C
But I thank God for the work


[Bridge]

    D
And the day will come
                 C
When I'll find a reason
             D                        C
And somebody proud to love a man like me
        D
My back is numb
             C
My hands are freezing
         D                                  C
What I'm working for is something more than free


[Chorus]

            Em       D                            C
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
                           E       C
I'm just lucky to have the work
       Em                    D          C
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
                Em      D     C
But I thank God for the work
                    G     C    G    C    G
I thank God for the work
