Biografía:
Sam Cooke, cantante de soul y gospel nacido en Mississippi el 22 de enero de 1931. Está considerado uno de los pioneros de la música soul, siendo una de las grandes influencias del pop, el rhythm and blues y el neo soul.
Para algunos está considerado como «Rey del Soul» (título que comparte con Otis Redding), y con el paso del tiempo el hecho de que tuviera casi la treintena de hits entre 1957 y 1965 ha hecho a muchos pensar que realmente es uno de los padres del soul.

CHAIN GANG by SAM COOKE
Written by Sam Cooke and Charles Cooke
[Intro]
G Em
(ooh! aah!) (x2)
I hear somethin' saying
G Em C D
(ooh! aah! ooh! aah!) (x2)
[Verse 1]
G
(Well, don't you know)
C G Em G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
C D G
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singing
G Em C D
(ooh! aah! ooh! aah!) (x2)
[Chorus]
(same chords progression)
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
[Verse 2]
G Em
All day long they work so hard
C D
'till the sun is going down
G Em
Working on the highway and byways
C D
and wearing, wearing a frown
G Em
You hear them moaning their lives away
C D
Then you hear somebody say
[Chorus]
(verse chords)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't you hear them saying
[Verse 3]
G Em C
Mm, I'm going home one of these days
D G
I'm going home see my woman
Em
Whom I love so dear
C D
But meanwhile I got to work right here
[Chorus]
(verse chords)
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
[Outro]
All day long they're singing
G Em C D
my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
G Em
Give me water, I'm thirsty
C D
My work is so hard
