Standard tuning- Capo 2
Feel free to try the Capo else where for your singing preference.
It does work at Capo 3.  

Verse 1:
D                               Em
Every thing you know about me is written on this page
  G                           D
A number you can reach me, my social, and my age
D                            Em
Yes I served in the Army, it's where I learned to shoot
G                                      D
Eighteen months in the desert, pouring sand out of my boots
Em                               G
No I've never been convicted of a crime
Em                           G
I could start this job at any time


Chorus 1: 
D                                 Em
I've got a strong back, steel toes I rarely call in sick
G                                D
A good truck, what I don't know, I catch on real quick
D                             Em
I work weekends, if I have to, Nights and Holidays
G                              D
Give you forty, and then some, whatever it takes
Em                             G
Three dollars and change at the pump
Em                                   D
The cost of living's high, and going up


Verse 2:
D                                     Em
I put Robert down as a reference, he's known me all my life
G                                  D
We attend the same church, he introduced me to my wife
D                             Em
Gave my last job everything, before it headed south
G
Took the shoes off of my children's feet,
   D
the food out of their mouths
Em                           G
Yesterday my folks offered to help
Em                                G          
But they're barely getting by themselves

Chorus 1: 
D                                 Em
I've got a strong back, steel toes I rarely call in sick
G                                D
A good truck, what I don't know, I catch on real quick
D                             Em
I work weekends, if I have to, Nights and Holidays
G                              D
Give you forty, and then some, whatever it takes
Em                             G
Three dollars and change at the pump
Em                                   D
The cost of living's high, and going up


Bridge:
Em                              G
I'm sure a hundred others have applied
Em                             G
Rumor has it you're only taking five

Chorus 2:
D                                      Em
I've got a strong back, steel toes, I'm handy with a wrench
G                               D
There's nothing I can't drive, nothing I can't fix
D                                     Em
I work sun up, 'til sun down, ain't to proud to sweep the floor
G                                    D
The bank has started calling, and the wolves are at my door
Em                              G
Three dollars and change at the pump
Em                                   D
The cost of living's high and going up

Outro through D

I know some of you may suggest that there is another chord in a place or two.
However this is the simple playing man's version.
