Chorus
         Em D   Em
And it's go boys go,
    G           D                Em
And every day you're in this place              
G                D       Em
They'll time your every breath,
        G        D      Em             [ Em  D  Em ]X2
You're two days nearer death.  But you go.

  Em          D           Em             G     D         Em
A process man am I and I'm telling you no lie 
  Em          D           Em                             G                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             Em      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           Em                G                      B
I shoveled up the gypsum and it nigh on made you choke
        Em               D           G            D                
I've stood knee deep in cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
    Em       D        G           D             Em             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           Em                  G                 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        Em        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'm telling you no lie 
  Em          D           Em                             G                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             Em   D     Em
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
