[Verse]

Am Am/B D/F# Am Am/B D/F#
In a room all alone waiting by the telephone
Am Am/B D/F#
With a tear in his eye and a pen in his hand
Fsus2 E Am D E
So begins the diary of a working man
Am Am/B D/F#
He’d been poor man all his life
Am Am/B D/F#
And just when things were going right
Am Am/B D/F#
Some stranger takes his woman away
Fsus2 E Am D E
He doesn’t know if he’ll see, oh, another day
Am D E C G/B
Oh, another day

[Verse 2]

Am Am/B D/F#
Time has come and he was right
Am Am/B D/F#
It was a cold and rainy night
Am Am/B D/F#
And he thought for sure she would follow
Fsus2 E Am D E C G/B
But it won’t be the same, no tomorrow
Am Am/B D/F#
Now here’s a man glory bound
Am Am/B D/F#
In a pool of dreams about to drown
Am Am/B D/F#
If he can just get through this night
Fsus2 E Am D E
Then maybe tomorrow things will work out right
Am D E C G/B
Oh, will work out right

[Bridge]

Am C D F G
Well, with the pain in his blood
Am C D F G
He’d love to take her if he could
Am C D F G
And as he wakes with a scream
Am C D F E
To only realize it’s just reality

[Outro]

Am Am/B D/F#
He woke with sweaty hands
Am Am/B D/F#
Maybe there’ll be a change in plans
Am Am/B D/F#
With a tear in his eye and a gun in his hand
Fsus2 E Am Am/B D/F# Am
So ends the diary of a workingman
