Blue Collar Man Long Nights

[Intro]
D5

[Verse 1]
D5                       G5    Bb5
Give me a job, give me security
C5                           D5 A5
  Give me a chance to survive
    C5     D5                   G5           Bb5
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
C5           C5  B5 Bb5  A5
  My God I'm hardly alive
   D5
My mother and father,
        G5            Bb5
my wife and my friends
C5                                 D5 A5 C5
  You've seen them laugh in my face
D5                         G5            Bb5
I've got the power and I've  got the will
C5          C5 B5 Bb5   A5
  I'm not a charity case

[Chorus]
                D5   Bb/F
I'll take those long nights,
C5         D5
impossible odds
Bb5        C5         C5  D5
Keeping my eye to the key hole
            D5  Bb/F C5                D5
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man

[Verse 2]
D5                    G5            Bb5
Make me an offer that I can't refuse
C5                      D5 A5
  Make me a respectable man
     C5    D5                   G5           Bb5
This is my last time in the unemployment line
C5   C5   B5 Bb5 A5
  So like it or  not

[Chorus]
                D5   Bb/F
I'll take those long nights,
C5         D5
impossible odds
Bb5        C5          C5  D5
Keeping my back to the wall
            D5  Bb/F  C5                D5
If it takes all night to be just what I am
                                   D5
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man

[Bridge]
                     C5
Keeping my mind on a better life
      Bb5                       D5
Where happiness is only a heart beat away
                         C5
Paradise can it be all I heard it was
  Bb5                                      A5
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
