Chorus
         E5 D5   E5
And it's go boys go,
    G5           D5                E5
And every day you're in this place              
G5                D5       E5
They'll time your every breath,
        G5        D5      E5             [ E5  D5  E5 ]X2
You're two days nearer death.  But you go.

  E5          D5           E5             G5     D5         E5
A process man am I and I'm telling you no lie 
  E5          D5           E5                             G5                B5
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky 
        E5            D5                    G5            D5                
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air 
          E5        D5        G5       D5             E5      D5     E5
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair

Chorus

    E5          D5           E5                        G5              D5         E5
Well I work among the spinners and I breathe the oily smoke
  E5          D5           E5                G5                      B5
I shoveled up the gypsum and it nigh on made you choke
        E5               D5           G5            D5                
I've stood knee deep in cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
    E5       D5        G5           D5             E5             D5        E5
Been working rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turn 

Chorus

    E5          D5           E5         G5     D5         E5
There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore 
  E5          D5           E5                  G5                 B5
The young men like their money and they all come back for more 
    E5                  D5               G5              D5                
But soon you're knockin on and you look older than you should 
      E5   D5       G5       D5        E5        D5           E5
For every bob made on the job you pay with flesh and blood

Chorus

    E5          D5           E5    G5     D5         E5
A process man am I and I'm telling you no lie 
  E5          D5           E5                             G5                B5
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky 
        E5       D5                        G5            D5                
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air 
       E5        D5           G5       D5             E5   D5     E5
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
