Intro:
F G Am (x3)
[Am]Iâ??m an ordinary[G] man, nothing s[F]pecial, nothing [Am]grand
Iâ??ve[F] had to work for [G]everything [Am]I own
[Am]I never asked for a l[G]ot, I was ha[F]ppy with what I [Am]got
Eno[F]ugh to keep my fa[G]mily and my h[Am]ome
Now[F] they say that times are h[G]ard and theyâ??ve [Am]handed me my [F]cards
They say th[F]ereâ??s not the work to go a[E]round
A[Am]nd when the whistle bl[G]ows, the ga[F]tes will finally c[Am]lose
Tonigh[F]t theyâ??re going to[G] shut this factory[Am] down
And theyâ??ll tare it[F] d-o[G]-w-n[Am]
Bridge . . . F G Am
[Am]I never missed a d[G]ay, nor went on st[F]rike for better p[Am]ay
For 20 [F]years I se[G]rved them best I co[Am]uld
N[Am]ow with a handshake and a ch[G]eque it seems so e[F]asy to fo[Am]rget
Loyalt[F]y through the b[G]ad times and through g[Am]ood
T[F]he owner says heâ??s[G] sad to see that [Am]things have got so[F] bad
But the cap[F]tains of industry wont let him l[E]ose
[Am]He still drives a c[G]ar and sm[F]okes his c[Am]igar
[F]And still takes his fa[G]mily on a cr[Am]uise, heâ??ll neve[F]r lo[G]se [Am]
Instrumental . . . F G Am
[Am]Now it seems to [G]me such a cr[F]uel i[Am]rony
Heâ??s [F]richer now than[G] ever he was [Am]before
[Am]Now my check is sp[G]ent and I c[F]ant afford the r[Am]ent
Thereâ??s[F] one law for the[G] rich, one for the[Am] poor
Eve[F]ry day Iâ??ve [G]tried to salvage[C] some [G]of my[Am] pride
To fin[F]d some work soâ??s I might pay my[E] way
[Am]Oh but everywhere I [G]go, the ans[F]wers always [Am]no
[F]Thereâ??s no work for [G]anyone here [Am]today
No work t-o-[F]D-A-[G]y [Am]
Instrumental . . . F G Am
[Am]And so condemned I st[G]and, just an ord[F]inary [Am]man
Like thou[F]sands be[G]side me in the qu[Am]eue
[Am]I watch my darling w[G]ife trying to m[F]ake the best of l[Am]ife
A[F]nd God knows what the k[G]ids are going to [Am]do
No[F]w that we are fa[G]ced with t[C]his h[Am]uman wa[F]ste
[F]A generation cast as[E]ide
[Am]As long as I l[G]ive, I n[F]ever will for[Am]give,
Youâ??ve st[F]ripped me of my d[G]ignity and[Am] pride, you stripped me[F] ba[G]re[Am]
Youâ??ve stripped [F]me [G]bar[Am]e, youâ??ve stripped[F] me[G] ba[Am]re.
Instrumental (Until End) . . . F G Am (x6)
