[VERSE 1]
Well [G]I’ve been working here for fifteen years
and I’ve [C]seen some changes [G]come.
I’ve s[G]een some Okies called Californians,
I’ve s[A7]een some poets called b[D]ums.
I’ve s[G]een people working for safety,
there [C]must be a reason w[G]hy.
Maybe [G]we just come to w[C]ork h[G]ere,
[D]We don’t come to [G]die.
[VERSE 2]
I would l[G]ike to end up with all of my fingers,
I don’t w[C]ant my brain to get n[G]umb
I would l[G]ike to have my ears when retirement nears,
I'd like [A7]to hear that applau[D]se come.
And I’d l[G]ike to see my grand-children,
Be able to p[C]ick them up when they c[G]ry.
That’s why [G]I just come to wo[C]rk h[G]ere, [D]I don’t come to d[G]ie.
[CHORUS]
Cause if it’s al[C]ways level on the floor where you’re working
and your t[G]elephone is OSHA approved,
When you t[C]ell me how much you’re spending on safety,
pardon [A7]me if I’m not m[D]oved.
[G]Ever since 1970 the l[C]aw has been on my s[G]ide.
That's why w[G]e just come to wo[C]rk h[G]ere, [D]we don’t come to [G]die.
[VERSE 3]
Now I[G]’ll be the pitcher, and you can be the batter;
you k[C]now that’s just the old ball g[G]ame.
But when the l[G]ine starts popping and that load starts dropping,
our s[A7]ituations not the s[D]ame.
And [G]I’m not saying that you don’t care,
I’m not [C]saying that you don’t t[G]ry.
I’m saying: "[G]we just come to w[C]ork [G]here,
[D]We don’t come to d[G]ie."
[VERSE 4]
Now [G]you and I know that the things that aren’t code
could be f[C]ixed with relative e[G]ase.
But [G]we never did get anything by a[A7]sking on our k[D]nees.
So n[G]ow we’re looking you straight in the eye,
shoulder to s[C]houlder and side by si[G]de.
We’re saying: [G]"we just come to w[C]ork [G]here,
[D]we don’t come to d[G]ie."
[CHORUS]

That's why [G]we just come to w[C]ork [G]here, mister,
[D]We don’t come to d[G]ie.
