Intro:

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


     Dm (xx0231@1)            Dm(maj7)
Good morning day and how do you do
         C#aug (x4322x@1)              Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
         Dm (xx0231@1)                   Dm(maj7)
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
         C#aug (x4322x@1)                    Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -
         Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)    Am (x02210@1)             Gm (355333@1)                  DmAnd (xx0231@1)I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
        Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)    Am (x02210@1)        Gm (355333@1)                    DmLike (xx0231@1)my Brother has too, got to move to get out of this view,
                         DmYou (xx0231@1)see they tell you to move around -
             G/A (320203@1)        Dm/A     AIf (x02220@1)you can't find work in your own town.


     Dm (xx0231@1)                   Dm(maj7)
As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man
        C#aug (x4322x@1)               Dm7
Blaming Heaven and Mother for this
       Dm (xx0231@1)                          Dm(maj7)
Thirty years with one firm, thirteen months redundant,
        C#aug (x4322x@1)                Dm7
Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some -


        Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)        Am (x02210@1)        Gm (355333@1)                  DmNow (xx0231@1)our tears fall like rain, as my Mother walks me to my train,
       Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)   Am (x02210@1)              Gm (355333@1)                      DmWith (xx0231@1)a kiss and a wave - 'Come Home Weekends' that's if I can save.
             DmI (xx0231@1)swear I'll take it out on the man -
           G/A (320203@1)       Dm/A   AWho (x02220@1)ever devised this economy plan.


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


Ebmaj7 (x43111@3)            Bbmaj7All (x13231@1)the love in the world - can't put -
Ebmaj7 (x43111@3)      Bbmaj7Dinner (x13231@1)on the table -
    Abmaj7 (xx4321@3)            Ebmaj7 (x43111@3)               F/G (303211@1)   G/AOh, (320203@1)all the hate that I feel no love could put right


     Dm (xx0231@1)            Dm(maj7)
Good morning day and how do you do
         C#aug (x4322x@1)              Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
         Dm (xx0231@1)                   Dm(maj7)
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
         C#aug (x4322x@1)                    Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -


         Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)    Am (x02210@1)             Gm (355333@1)                  DmAnd (xx0231@1)I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
        Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)     Am (x02210@1)              Gm (355333@1)                DmAll (xx0231@1)the love and the strength has been taken by this Government,
                         DmYou (xx0231@1)see they tell you to move around -
             G/A (320203@1)        Dm/A     AIf (x02220@1)you can't find work in your own town.
