Selection chords: Henry Walker

G    Em
(ooh!  aah!) (x2)

I hear somethinʼ saying
G    Em    C    D
(ooh!  aah! ooh! aah!) (x2)

                 G
(Well, donʼt you know)
                        C                  G     Em     G
Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang
                        C                  D     G
Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long theyʼre singing

G    Em   C    D
(ooh! aah! ooh! aah!) (x2)

(Well, donʼt you know)
Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang

G                  Em
 All day long they work so hard
C                      D
ʼtill the sun is going down
G               Em
 Working on the highway and byways
    C                D
and wearing, wearing a frown
G                            Em
 You hear them moaning their lives away
C              D
 Then you hear somebody say

Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Canʼt you hear them saying
G   Em                    C
Mm, Iʼm going home one of these days
D                     G
Iʼm going home see my woman
       Em
Whom I love so dear
    C                  D
But meanwhile I got to work right here

(Well, donʼt you know)
Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Thatʼs the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long theyʼre singing
G    Em          C          D
 my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
        G          Em
Give me water, Iʼm thirsty
C   D
 My work is so hard
