G D Em Am C D
Facing the world ain't easy, when there isn't anything goin'
G Bm Em G Am G F
Standing at the corner waiting, watching time go by
Dm E7 Am G F D
Will I go to work today, or shall I bide my time?
[Chorus]
G Bm Em Am
When I see that union man walking down the street
D Bm G
He's a man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
Bm Em Am
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
D Bm G
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
[Verse 2]
Bm Em
Now I think of what my mama told me
Am D
She always said that it would never ever work out
G Bm Em
But all I want to do is make some money
Am F
And bring you home some wine
Dm E7 E Am F D
I don't want you ever to see me, standing in that line
[Chorus]
G D Em Am
Cause that union man's got such a hold over me
D Bm D G
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
D Bm E7 Am
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
D Bm D G
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
D Bm D G
Get back, get back, get right back in the line
