Verse:

Dm F Dm G Dm Am F C
Hey hey hey hey There'll be food on the table tonight

Dm F Dm G Dm Am
Hey hey hey hey There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

G C Am
My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken

C Am
My life that is lived is no more than token

F G Am
Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why

Bdim C Am
If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence

C Am
The Screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence

F G Am
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why


Chorus:

Am Dm F Dm G
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F C
There'll be food on the table to night

C Dm F Dm G
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F G
There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight


Verse:

C Am
The candy store pauupers lie to share holders

C Am
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers

F G Am
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

Bdim C Am
So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine

C Am
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine

F G Am
Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night


Bridge:

Am Bb/E Dm G
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue

G Bb/E Dm G
If the sugar refinning company won't save me

F Bb C
Who's gonna save me

Am C
Who's gonna save me

Am C
Who's gonna save me


Chorus:

C Dm F Dm G
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F
There'll be food on the table to night

C Dm F Dm G
And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

C Dm F Dm G
And some have sailed from a distant shore

G Dm Am F C
And the company takes what the company wants

Dm F Dm G Dm Am F G
And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground
