Title:
“Blue-Collar Blues”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Worked my hands till they’re [G] calloused and raw,
[Am] Dreaming of times when we [E] had it all.
[F] Factories closing, jobs [C] slipping away,
[G] In the land of the free, but we [C] can’t even pay.

(Chorus)
[Am] Singing the blue-collar [E] blues,
[F] For everyone who’s got a lot to [C] lose.
[G] We’re the heart of this land, [Am] so misunderstood,
[E] Just trying to make it good, [F] living as we [G] should.

(Verse 2)
[C] Sweat on my brow, pain in my [G] soul,
[Am] Struggling to keep my dreams [E] whole.
[F] They say it’s a recession, but feels [C] like a war,
[G] Fighting for survival, can’t take [C] anymore.

(Chorus)
[Am] Singing the blue-collar [E] blues,
[F] We’re not just numbers in the evening [C] news.
[G] We’re the backbone, the hardworking [Am] crew,
[E] Paying our dues, asking for our [F] right to [G] choose.
