D7 G
40 years we labor on this chain
C G D
Workin' much too hard for what we gain
G D7 Em
You and I, we taste the bitter end
G D7 G
Workin' 40 years for another man

Verse 2:
Got no name, just a number in the book
Friendly faces hide the royal look
Nothin' down on you, it's such a shame
Workin' 40 years for another man

CHORUS:
C G C
40 years 40-- long long years
G
Give the man your blood and sweat and tears
D7 G
Cash your check on Friday afternoon
C G D
Sunday night your money's gone too soon
G D7 Em
For your children, will it be the same?
G D7 G
Workin' 40 years for another man
