(Capo on 3rd Fret) Chords by Kenny Perry by request

G            D&F#            Em                C
Early in the morning I could smell that diesel burning 
        G             Em                G                 D
and I'd watch him and his old truck, go rumbling down the road.
    G               D&F#            Em               C
And later on in the evening, in the distance I would hear him
     G                D                       G
like lightning I'd go straight out that front door. 

Chorus:
         G          C Em    D  Dsus4          C   Em   G        D
Into the hands of a working man     life was easy, to understand,
            G       C  Em D Dsus4      C            D                  G
now looking back on who I am,   right there in the hands of a working man 

C    Em   D  Dsus4

G           D&F#              Em          C
I can still remember it was a cold day in December 
  G               Em              G                     D
I walked into the kitchen I saw a tear rolling down his face
       G               D&F#             Em              C
he was sitting with my Mother they were leaning on each other 
  G                  D                G
I listened there she whispered I have faith 

Chorus:

C    Em   D  Dsus4  C Em    G       D
  
             C              Em                    C                            D            
You know the more I see the deeper I believe, the best place for this world to be 
          G          C Em    D                  C Em    G        D
is in the hands of a working man, where love is easy to understand
             G         C    Em D Dsus4         C          D                  G
 now looking back from where I am,    there I am, in the hands of a working man

           C            D                 G    C  Em   D   Dsus4 G
This world turns in the hand of a working man
