Intro: [ch]D5[/ch]

We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugees
On the run to germany
    [ch]G[/ch]                             [ch]Gadd9[/ch]
We had the back of maggie's hand
 [ch]D5[/ch]
Times were tough in geordieland
   ([ch]D5[/ch])
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from newcastle to here

  [ch]D5[/ch]           [ch]F[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch]       
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
  [ch]G[/ch]            [ch]Bb[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch]
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
  [ch]D5[/ch]           [ch]F[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch]       
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
  [ch]G[/ch]            [ch]C[/ch]      [ch]D5[/ch]
Why aye man, why aye man


[ch]D5[/ch]


We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
        [ch]G[/ch]
There's english, irish, scots, the lot
  [ch]D5[/ch]
United nation's what we've got
 ([ch]D5[/ch]])
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German building, british-made

  [ch]D5[/ch]           [ch]F[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch]       
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
  [ch]G[/ch]            [ch]Bb[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch]
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
  [ch]D5[/ch]           [ch]F[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch]       
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
  [ch]G[/ch]            [ch]C[/ch]      [ch]D5[/ch]
Why aye man, why aye man


[ch]D5[/ch]


 [ch]Gm[/ch]                            [ch]C[/ch]
Nae more work on maggie's farm
 [ch]F[/ch]               [ch]D5[/ch]       [ch]Dsus4[/ch]
Hadaway down the autobahn
 [ch]Gm[/ch]                     [ch]C[/ch]
Mine's a portacabin bed
      [ch]F[/ch]                [ch]D5[/ch]         [ch]Dsus4[/ch]
Or a bunk in a nissen hut instead


[ch]Gm[/ch] | [ch]C[/ch] | [ch]F[/ch] [ch]D5[/ch] | [ch]Dsus4[/ch] |
[ch]Gm[/ch] | [ch]C[/ch] | [ch]F[/ch] [ch]D5[/ch] | [ch]D5[/ch] |


There's plenty deutschmarks here to earn
And german tarts are wunderschoen
German beer is chemical-free
Germany's alreet with me
 [ch]G[/ch]                             [ch]Gadd9[/ch]
Sometimes I miss my river tyne
     [ch]D5[/ch]
But you're my pretty fraulein
  ([ch]D5[/ch])
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep wor spirit levels high


  [ch]D5[/ch]           [ch]F[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch]

            [ch]E7[/ch]         [ch]E[/ch]
This empty kitchen's where
      [ch]Am[/ch]            [ch]E7[/ch]   [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]Am[/ch]
I'd while away the hours
              [ch]E7[/ch]      [ch]E[/ch]   [ch]C[/ch]
Just next to my old chair
               [ch]E[/ch]          [ch]E7[/ch]     [ch]Dm[/ch]
You'd usually have some flowers
                [ch]E[/ch]    [ch]E7[/ch]   [ch]Am[/ch]  [ch]Am/G[/ch]
The shelves of books

Even the picture hooks
               [ch]Dm[/ch]  [ch]E7[/ch]
Everything is gone
        [ch]E[/ch]        [ch]Am[/ch]
But my heart is hanging on

           [ch]E7[/ch]         [ch]E[/ch]
If this old neighbourhood
 [ch]Am[/ch]                 [ch]E7[/ch]   [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]Am[/ch]
Survived us both alright
                    [ch]E7[/ch]   [ch]E[/ch]    [ch]C[/ch]
Don't know that it withstood

All the things that took our light

You on the stair
       [ch]Am/F#[/ch] 
I can see you there

Once there was a little girl
                      [ch]C7M[/ch]          [ch]F7M[/ch]
Used to wonder what she would be
                   [ch]C7M[/ch]
Went out into the big wide world
                  [ch]F7M[/ch]
Now she's just a memory
                    [ch]C7M[/ch]               [ch]F7M[/ch]
There used to be a little school here
                     [ch]C7M[/ch]           [ch]F7M[/ch]
Where I learned to write my name
                     [ch]C7M[/ch]
But time has been a little cruel here
      [ch]F7M[/ch]          [ch]Dm7[/ch]
Time has no shame

              [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]C7M[/ch]
It's just a place where
 [ch]F7M[/ch]            [ch]Dm7[/ch]
We used to live
              [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]C7M[/ch]
It's just a place where
   [ch]F7M[/ch]
We used to live

Now in another town
You lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife
Here in the dust
There's not a trace of us
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on

It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live

With a cane and a top hat


If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe

Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow

You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe

You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or Brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe

What do you know about the hammer and the spike
What do you know about the farm
You don't know
You don't know what it's like
Because you don't know
You don't know you're born

What do you know about the hammer and the chisel
You only know the kitchen and the warm
You don't know about the night shift whistle
Punching the clock to the horn
Because you don't know
You don't know you're born

Intro: 

[ch]D[/ch] | [ch]D/C[/ch] | [ch]D/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]/F | [ch]D[/ch] :|

Look at me coyote
Don't let a little road dust put you off
You can't judge a book
Well you know that stuff
There's a tear in my upholstery
And a hole in my shoe
But don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do 
         [ch]F[/ch]           [ch]G[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do


You can't catch me coyote
Though there may be blood on the tracks
There may be some bridges burning
Behind our backs
But I got my laundry on the backseat
And an itinerary too
And don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

Now I'm a speck on your horizon
Getting smaller fast
An ambush wouldn't be surprising
I hope it's better than your last

Once again the roadrunner
Leaves the coyote in the dirt
You've got another plan of action
But we all know it ain't never gonna work
It must be hard having dog dreams
That never come true
And don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

You won't find self-improvement or philosophy
In a dumpster sitting by
The kitchen door
There's plenty leek and humble pie
Ain't too much ham on rye
Sometimes I wonder
What i'm looking for

But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best
To get along
Add a pinch of kindness crumbling
To your loving dumpling
Okra for thickening
When something's wrong

But who put old pigweed
In the mulligan
Was it you
Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew
I close my eyes
For just a minute
What do you do
Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew
