Capo 3


G          Em            C      D  
My daddy's knuckles were always bloody
G            Em     C            D  
From working on our hand-me-down cars
G            Em           C           D  
He'd tell me son the only way to get ahead
G            Em             C      D  
Is work your fingers to the bone


Chorus 1:
G            Em           C       D 
Gave him the finger and I walked away
G          Em          C          D
I wouldn't listen to a thing he'd say
    C                 C/B                D  
And now that he's not here I want him to know
                     C                     G  Em
I knew he worked his fingers to the bone


Em       C              D        G
My momma always knew of my indiscretions
Em      C             D       G
But she always had an ear for me
Em            C                 D       G
She'd take me to the church and make me listen
Em      C        D             
Pray to God on a bended knee


Chorus 2:
I said I hate you and I walked away
I wouldn't listen to a thing she'd say
But one day I turned around and she was gone
I knew she worked her fingers to the bone


Last night I read my son a bed time story
And he looked up at me
He told me Daddy you know I love you
Daddy please don't leave


Chorus 3:
But there will come a day he'll walk away
And he won't listen to a word I'll say
Then one day he'll wake up and he'll know
His daddy worked his fingers to the bone

C/B                  C                    C/B
His daddy worked his fingers to the bone
                     C
His momma worked her fingers to the bone
                      C/B
All we tried to do is give you a home
                     C
Yeah nobody tried to steer you wrong
                            C/B             C    C/B   C  C/B  fade
Cause everybody works their fingers to the bone
