I hear somethin' saying

(Well, don't you know)
                                       C                            G       Em   G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
                                        C                           D        G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singing

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

[Chorus]

(same chords progression)

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

[Verse 2]

G                          Em
All day long they work so hard
C                              D
'till 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

[Chorus]
(verse chords)

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't you hear them saying

[Verse 3]

G      Em                                 C
Mm, I'm going home one of these days
D                                   G
I'm going home see my woman
              Em
Whom I love so dear
          C                         D
But meanwhile I got to work right here

[Chorus]
(verse chords)

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

[Outro]

All day long they're singing
G     Em                C               D
my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
               G             Em
Give me water, I'm thirsty
C    D
My work is so hard
