	C	G	F	G
	My grandfather was a	sailor he	blew in off the	water

	C	G	F	G
	My father was a	farmer and	I his only d	aughter

	C	G	F	G
	took up with a	no-good millworking	man from Massachus	etts

	C	G	F	G	C
W	ho dies from too much	whiskey and	leaves me these three	faces to	feed

	C	G	F	G
	Now Mill-work ain't	easy	mill-work ain't	hard

	C	G	F	G
	Mill-work it ain't	nothing but an	awful boring	job

	C	G	F	G
I'm	waiting for a	day dream to	take me through the	morning

	C	G	F	G	C
And	put me in my	coffee break where	I can have a	sandwich and	remember

	Bb	F
And it's	me and my machine for the	rest of the morning

	Fm	Gsus
For the	rest of the after	noon

	G	C	Eb	Bb	C
	For the rest of my	life

	C	G	F	G
	Now my mind begins to	wander to the d	ays back on the f	arm

	C	G	F	G
	I can see my father	smiling at me	swingin' on his	arm

	G	F	G
I can hear my grand-dad's	stories of the s	torms out on Lake E	rie

	C	G	F	G	C
	Where vessels and	cargos and	fortunes and	sailor's lives were	lost

SOLO Eb

	C	G	F	G
	But it's my life has been	wasted, and	I have been the	fool

	C	G	F	G
	To let this manuf	acture use my	body for a	tool

	G	F	G
I can ride home in the	evening	staring at my	hands

	C	G	F	G	C
	Wearing by my	sorrow that a young	girl ought to st	and a better ch	ance

	Bb	F
So	may I work the mills just as	long as I am able

	Fm	Gsus	C
Aand	never meet the man	whose name is on the	label

	Bb	F
And it's	me and my machine for the	rest of the morning

	Fm	Gsus
For the	rest of the after	noon

	G	C
	Fnd the rest of my	life
