Verse 1:
Bb* Eb* Bb*
Yeah, this one's for the workers who toil night and day
Eb* F*
By hand and by brain, to earn your pay
Bb* Eb* Bb*
For centuries long past for no more than your bread
H[Eb]ave bled for your [Bb]countries and c[F]ounted your [Bb]dead
Intro x1
Verse 2:
Bb* Eb* Bb*
In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
Eb* F*
We've often been told to keep up with the times
Bb* Eb* Bb*
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
And with [Eb]slide rule and [Bb]stopwatch, our [F]pride they have [Bb]robbed
Chorus: (with intro in the background)
We're the [Bb]first ones to starve, we're the [Eb]first ones to [Bb]die
The [Eb]first ones in line for that [F]pie in the sky
And we're [Bb]always the last when the [Eb]cream is shared [Bb]out
For the [Eb]worker is [Bb]working when the [F]fat cat's [Bb]about
Verse 3:
Bb* Eb* Bb*
And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war,
Eb* F*
Who's given the gun and then pushed to the fore (after this a Bb chord is
Bb* Eb* Bb* played up an octave)
And expected to die for the land of our birth
Eb* Bb* F* Bb*
Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth
Chorus x1
