Chain Gang chords
Sam Cooke
ooh! aah! 4x
I hear something saying
ooh! aah! 4x
I hear something saying
ooh! aah! 8x
(Well, don't you know?)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singing
ooh! aah! 4x
(Well, don't you know?)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard,
'till the sun is going down
Working on the highway and byways,
and wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moaning their lives away,
then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't you hear them saying?
ooh! aah! 4x
(Well, don't you know?)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't you hear them saying?
Mm, I'm going home one of these days,
I'm going home see my woman,
whom I love so dear
But, meanwhile I got to work right here
(Well, don't you know?)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singing
hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My, my work is so hard
hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My, my work is so hard
hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My, my work is so hard
