This is my first submission so let me know what you think.
Kudos to the other two versions of this for starting me off.
Here's my version which has some other chords that I worked
out by ear which I think sound good singing solo with.
I've also done my best to line the chords up with the syllable on
which I play it. Basically there's three rhythmic patterns to the chords
if you look at it in 4/4. I break them down at the bottom if you're
having trouble getting it, or you can always just play along with
the song.
Standard Tuning
Capo on 2nd fret
Chorus:
Em D Em G D Em
And it's go boys go, they'll time your every breath,
Em D G D G D Em
And every day you're in this place you're two days nearer death.
Em D Em Em D Em
But you go.
Song:
Chorus
Em D Em G D Em
Well a process man am I and I am telling you no lie
Em D G D G D B
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky
Em D G D
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
Em D G D G D Em
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
Chorus
Em D Em G D Em
Well I work among the spinners and I breathe the oily smoke
Em D G D G D B
I've shoveled up the gypsum and it nigh on makes you choke
Em D G D
I've stood knee deep in cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
Em D G D G D Em
Been working rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turn
Chorus
Em D Em G D Em
There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore
Em D G D G D B
The young men like their money and they all come back for more
Em D G D
But soon you're knockin' on and you look older than you should
Em D G D G D Em
For every bob made on the job you pay with flesh and blood
Chorus
Em D Em G D Em
A process man am I and I am telling you no lie
Em D G D G D B
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky
Em D G D
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
Em D G D G D Em
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
