[Verse 1]
D5
  I'm just a poor man working day by day
D5
  Lost in the struggle,
there's a mountain in my way
D5
  So strap your boots on get ready for that first step
D5
  The uphill battle that I ain't even started yet

  Chance is you'll find  me
D/Eb
    Out in the fields
D5 Gsus2            F#m
        Pounding my hammer
F6
  'Tween stone and steel

Whoa, it's blues at the bottom

[Verse 2]
D5
  Ain't no map to follow,
just follow your own path
D5
  Get close to the edge and there's no turning back
D5
  The wind and the rain gonna push you around
D5
  Hard times try to break you,
don't ever let 'em back you down

  Done my fair share of

[Verse 3]
D5
  Blood on my hands and there's holes in my jeans
D5
  You scrub all day but you never get them clean
D5
  It's a hard rock bottom,
there ain't nothing down there but the blues
D5
  At the top of the mountain you still gotta pay your dues
