So I haven't been able to find any chords for this song I thought i'd submit something
for the people looking for it. Unfortunately he plays the song with a capo on the 2nd
fret which i currently don't have. This is how to play it without a capo though (at 
least as close as I can hear)

Now it seems to me somehow this nation of migrants
From father to daughter, from mother to son
Must constantly shift from the east of the west
'Til we run out of work or of places to run
Gone now the days when you lived where your parents
And your parents before them were bred and were born
We must go where the work is to live any life boys
Bend like the willow to weather the storm

Now the boom's gone to bust
And we're down on the dole boys
No treasure laid up, for family and friends
It's pull up stakes now or pull up stakes later
For labouring men the road never ends

Yes the boom's gone to bust
And we're down on the dole boys
For labouring men the road never ends
