Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
From [G]the garden of
Eden right on upto [D]today
By the sweat of his brow is how a
man's supposed to earn his [G]pay
But the VIP's and the rich
folks of this [D]land
Think manual labor ain't
nothing but a Mexican
[G]Who swam the Rio Grande

[Verse 2]
[G]Manual Labor, that old back breaker [D]him
Sure knows how to make
a fool out of folks like [G]me
It throws your muscle in a hustle
and it numbs your [D]brain
Then it hauls you off down
the tracks like a runaway train
[G]

[Verse 3]
Oh, manual [C]labor you,
you old [G]back breaker, you
I must have mis[D]taken you,
for a true blue [G]friend you've never been
My youth and my [C]good time spent,
don't know where my [G]money went
I like how the [D]government,
got more than their [G]share, oh well, who cares?
I'm a- gettin' on a [C]holy road,
send a dollar to [G]the TV show
God knows how [D]the money goes, when you're saving a soul,
[G]big save- on soul

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
Oh, manual [C]labor you,
you old back [G]breaker, you
I must have mis[D]taken you,
for a true blue [G]friend you've never been
My youth and my [C]good time spent,
don't know where my [G]money went
I like how [D]the government,
got more than their [G]share, oh well, who cares?
I'm a- gettin' on a holy road,
send a dollar to a TV show
