Working Man — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "Working Man" by Celtic Thunder in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of G, 108 BPM.
Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
Lyrics
It’s a (G)work ing man I am,
and I’ve (C)been down un der ground.
And I swear to God, if I ev er see the (D)sun.
Oh, for (G)an y length of time
I can (C)hold it in my mind;
And I swear to God, if I ev er see the (D)sun.
Oh, for nev er a gain will (D)go down un der (G)ground.
At the (G)age of six teen years,
oh, he (C)quar rels with his peers,
who vowed they’d nev er see an oth er (D)one
in the (G)dark re cess of the mine,
where you (C)age be fore your time
and the coal dust lies (D)heav y on your (G)lungs.
It’s a (G)work ing man I am,
and I’ve (C)been down un der ground.
And I swear to God, if I ev er see the (D)sun.
Oh, for (G)an y length of time
I can (C)hold it in my mind,
and nev er a gain will (D)go down un der (G)ground.
(G)age of six ty four,
he will (C)greet you at the door,
and he will gent ly lead you by the (D)arm.
Through the (G)dark re cess of the mine,
he will (C)take you back in time
and he’ll tell you of the (D)hard ships that were (G)had.
(Eb7sus)It’s a (Ab)work ing man I am,
and I’ve (Db)been down un der ground.
And I swear to God, if I ev er see the (Eb)sun.
Oh, for (Ab)an y length of time
I can (Db)hold it in my mind,
and nev er a gain will (Eb7)go down un der (Ab)ground.
Lord, I nev er a gain will (Eb7sus)go down un der (Ab)ground.
