G                    
Great morning light splits through the chain
                       C             
Another day older and closer to the grave
     G                      C        
I'm closer to the grave and come the dawn
   G               D/F#           G
I woke this morning shackled and drawn


G
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
                           C
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
  G                           C          
Trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong
 G                   D/F#            G
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn


G                     
I always love the feel of sweat on my shirt
                     C               
Stand back, son, and let a man work
  G                C
Let a man work, is that so wrong
G                    D/F#         G
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn
               
G
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
                           C
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
         G                    C          
What's a poor boy to do, in a world gone wrong
 G                   D/F#          G
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn

G
Freedom, son, is a dirty shirt
                           C                   
The sun on my face and my shovel in the dirt
      G                            C
The shovel in the dirt keeps the devil gone
G                    D/F#          G
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn

G
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
                           C
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
         G                        C          
What's a poor boy to do, but keep singing his song
 G                   D/F#          G
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn


G                        
Gambler man rolls the dice, working man pays the bills
                              C
It's still fat and easy up on bankers hill
      G                C
Up on bankers hill the party's going strong

Down here below we're shackled and drawn

G
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
                           C
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
         G                        C          
Trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong
 G                   D/F#          G
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn
G
Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn
                           C
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
         G                        C          
What's a poor boy to do, but keep singing his song
 G                   D/F#         G
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn
