Alan Jackson - Hard Hat And A Hammer

capo 2nd fret

just the same 3 chords over and over .

( intro ) D G A ( 2x )

D G A
laced up boots , faded jeans .
D G A
homemade sandwich , and half a jug of tea .
D G A
average joe , average pay .
D G A
same old end , same old day .

( chorus )
D G A
but there’s nothin’ wrong with a hard hat and hammer .
D G A
that kind of glue that sticks this world together .
D G A
hands of steel , and cradle of the promised land . . .
A ( let it ring out )
god bless the workin’ man .

D G A ( 2x )

D G A
all week long , making a livin’ .
D G A
life keeps taking , he keeps giving
D G A
behind the scene , below the grade
D G A
hardly noticed but part of everything

( chorus )
D G A
but there’s nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
D G A
kind of glue that sticks this world together
D G A
hands of steel and cradle of the promised land
A ( let it ring out )
god bless the working man

( solo ) D G A ( 3x )

D G A
he gives his life then fades away
D G A
another young man takes his place
D G A
average joe , average pay
D G A
same ol end , same old’ day

( chorus )
D G A
but there’s nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
D G A
kind of glue that sticks this world together
D G A
hands of steel and cradle of the promised land
D G A
no , there’s nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
D G A
kind of glue that sticks this world together
D G A
hands of steel and cradle of the promised land
A ( let it ring out )
god bless the working man

D G A ( 3x ) to the next verse

the working man
oh , the working man and woman
