Working My Way Back Home

D

[Verse 1]
                        C       G        D
Working offshore in the driving rain and cold
                        C       G    D
Pumping the crude up to turn it into gold
A                G                         D
Waiting my turn, trying to call you on the phone
            A                         G                   D
It's been a long time coming, but I'm working my way back home


[Verse 2]
                     C              G      D
Out on the pipeline, burning in the desert sun
                       C        G      D
Me and Mohammed got to get this rig to run
        A                       G                  D
They're laying me off now, he's gonna do it on his own
            A                         G                   D
It's been a long time coming, but I'm working my way back home


[Chorus]
F            G               D
Nova Scotia, Hong Kong or Bahrain
     F             G              A
I've been wherever money runs the game


[Verse 3]
D                    C          G    D
Sunrise City, in the high steel over town
                                C    G         D
They give you a harness, but it only slows you down
    A                             G              D
I'm risking my neck, but it's the only life I've known
            A                         G                   D
It's been a long time coming, but I'm working my way back home

Traxcavator, Rubber Duck, JCB
F                G                 A
Start 'em up and leave the rest to me


[Verse 4]
D                          C         G       D
One of these days when the Fat Cat's work is through
                             C          G      D
Me and the boys, we're gonna prove what we can do
   A                              G                D
We built their world, we're gonna build one of our own
            A                         G                   D
It's been a long time coming, but I'm working my way back home
            A                         G                   D
It's been a long time coming, but I'm working my way back home

            A                         G                   D               A
