Well I work like a dog on the midnight shift
              Am
Where I'm a number not a name
  C
So many times I've wanted to quit
             G
And break loose from these chains
      F                  G
But I've got a family waitin' back home
           C           Am
And they all depend on me
            F
For the clothes they wear upon their backs
          G
And the shoes on their feet
          C               F
I'm an uncommon man that nobody sees
     C                            G
I pay my way every working day no one carries me
        Am                     F
My blood sweat and tears are etched upon this land
              G               C
I'm just an ordinary uncommon man

         C                    Am
Mr Congressman Mr Senator I think you oughta know
         C                             G
You can't pretend I don't exist and expect to get my vote
   F            G            C               Am
All I want is what is fair I'm not one to complain
    G
If you'll just show me some respect then I'll show you the same

C               F
I'm an uncommon man that nobody sees
     C                            G
I pay my way every working day no one carries me
        Am                     F
My blood sweat and tears are etched upon this land
              G               C
I'm just an ordinary uncommon man

     F              G             C           Am
My neck may be a little red my collar may be blue
       F                                G
I'll meet anybody half the way but I'm nobody's fool

C               F
I'm an uncommon man that nobody sees
     C                            G

        Am                     F
My blood sweat and tears are etched upon this land
              G               C
I'm just an ordinary uncommon man

                   G                C
Well I'm just an ordinary uncommon man
