Intro:

Dm Dm(maj7) C#aug Dm7 (x2)


Dm Dm(maj7)
Good morning day and how do you do
C#aug Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
Dm Dm(maj7)
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
C#aug Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -
Bbmaj7 Am Gm Dm
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
Bbmaj7 Am Gm Dm
Like my Brother has too, got to move to get out of this view,
Dm
You see they tell you to move around -
G/A Dm/A A
If you can't find work in your own town.


Dm Dm(maj7)
As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man
C#aug Dm7
Blaming Heaven and Mother for this
Dm Dm(maj7)
Thirty years with one firm, thirteen months redundant,
C#aug Dm7
Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some -


Bbmaj7 Am Gm Dm
Now our tears fall like rain, as my Mother walks me to my train,
Bbmaj7 Am Gm Dm
With a kiss and a wave - 'Come Home Weekends' that's if I can save.
Dm
I swear I'll take it out on the man -
G/A Dm/A A
Who ever devised this economy plan.


Dm Dm(maj7) C#aug Dm7 (x2)


Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
All the love in the world - can't put -
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
Dinner on the table -
Abmaj7 Ebmaj7 F/G G/A
Oh, all the hate that I feel no love could put right


Dm Dm(maj7)
Good morning day and how do you do
C#aug Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
Dm Dm(maj7)
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
C#aug Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -


Bbmaj7 Am Gm Dm
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
Bbmaj7 Am Gm Dm
All the love and the strength has been taken by this Government,
Dm
You see they tell you to move around -
G/A Dm/A A
If you can't find work in your own town.

Dm Dm(maj7) C#aug Dm7 (x2)
(guitar solo)

Dm Dm(maj7)
Father's in the kitchen, counting out coins,
C#aug Dm7
Mother's in the bedroom, looking through pictures of her boys,
Dm Dm(maj7)
One is in London, looking for a job,
C#aug Dm7
The other's in Whitehall, looking for those responsible!
