[Intro]
G C G D G
[Verse]
G
I drive a 97 square body Chevrolet
C
I trust it more than some made today
Em D C
That I bought with some hard-earned cash nah my daddy didn't pay
G
I couldn't tell you the last time that I shaved
C
I come home dirty every single day
Em
And if you like soft hands,
D C
Well mine, they ain't the ones to shake
Em D C
And I know there's more like me that do it this way
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, we get knocked down, we get back up
G
We'd take on hell for the ones we love
C
On our knees sending prayers above
D
Cause without His help we couldn't get it done
G
We run on that caffeine and nicotine fix
G
And always say we're gonna quit
C
We work all day, sometimes all night
D
To give our home a decent life
Em D C
And you might say that you don't understand
Em D C G C
But everybody ain't cut out to be a blue-collar man
[Verse]
G
Some get covered with grass, others with grease
C
Some got that sawdust all over them jeans
Em D C
Or 15 stickers on a hard hat in the back seat
G
We're every trade across this land
C
We built this place with our calloused hands
Em D
And if you think you'd make it without us,
C
You're heads in the sand
Em D C D
Yeah, you better thank God above for the blue-collar man
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, we get knocked down, we get back up
G
We'd take on hell for the ones we love
C
On our knees sending prayers above
D
Cause without His help we couldn't get it done
G
We run on that caffeine and nicotine fix
G
And always say we're gonna quit
C
We work all day, sometimes all night
D
To give our home a decent life
Em D C
And you might say that you don't understand
Em D C D
But everybody ain't cut out to be a blue-collar man
[Bridge]
Em D C
Yea some of you boys I doubt could make it a day
Em D C D
But guys like me were born to do it this way
[Chorus ]
G
Yeh, we run on that caffeine and nicotine fix
G
And always say we're gonna quit
C
We work all day, sometimes all night
D
To give our home a decent life
Em D C
And you might say that you don't understand
Em D C
Yea you might say that you don't understand
Em D
But everybody ain't cut out
Em D C G
Yea everybody ain't cut out to be a blue-collar man
