Workers Song Dropkick Murphys
[EADGBE]
CHORDS:
[A#5] [D#5] [F5]
E|---------------- B|---------------- G|------8-----10-- D|-8----8-----10-- A|-8----6-----8--- E|-6--------------
INTRO:
A#(x16) D#(x8) A#(x8) D#(x16) F(x16)
VERSE:
(Each chord is strummed once as soon as it changes then palm muted)
[A#]This one's for the workers who [D#]toil night and [A#]day
By [D#]hand and by brain[F] to earn your pay
Who for [A#]centuries long past for no [D#]more than your [A#]bread
Have [D#]bled for your countries and [F]counted your dead
A#(x16) D#(x8) A#(x8) D#(x16) F(x16)
VERSE TWO:
In the [A#]factories and mills and the [D#]shipyards and [A#]mines
We've [D#]often been told to kee[F]p up with the times
(On this A#, chords are no longer palm muted)
For our [A#]skills are not needed they've [D#]streamlined the [A#]job
And with [D#]slide rule and stopwatch, [F]our pride they have robbed
CHORUS:
We're the [A#]first ones to starve, we're the [D#]first ones to [A#]die
The [D#]first ones in line for that [F]pie in the sky
And we're [A#]always the last when the [D#]cream is shared [A#]out
For the [D#]worker is working when the [F]fat cat's about
VERSE THREE:
(Chords palm muted)
And [A#]when the sky darkens and the [D#]prospect is [A#]war
Who's [D#]given the gun and then [F]pushed to the fore
(No palm mute)
And ex[A#]pected to die for the [D#]land of our [A#]birth
And we've [D#]never owned one lousy [F]handful of earth
CHORUS
CHORUS RIFF OVER SOLO
CHORUS X2
VERSE FOUR:
(Each chord is strummed once and let ring)
And [A#]all of these things the [D#]worker has [A#]done
From [D#]tilling the fields to [F]carrying the gun
We've been [A#]yoked to the plow since [D#]time first b[A#]egan
And [D#]always expected to [F]carry the can
END ON A#
