Intro:

Dm Dm(maj7) C#aug Dm7 (x2)


     Dm              Dm(maj7)
Good morning day and how do you do
         C#aug                Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
         Dm                     Dm(maj7)
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
         C#aug                      Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -
         Bbmaj7      Am               Gm                    Dm
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
        Bbmaj7      Am          Gm                      Dm
Like my Brother has too, got to move to get out of this view,
                         Dm
You see they tell you to move around -
             G/A          Dm/A     A
If you can't find work in your own town.


     Dm                     Dm(maj7)
As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man
        C#aug                 Dm7
Blaming Heaven and Mother for this
       Dm                            Dm(maj7)
Thirty years with one firm, thirteen months redundant,
        C#aug                  Dm7
Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some -


        Bbmaj7          Am          Gm                    Dm
Now our tears fall like rain, as my Mother walks me to my train,
       Bbmaj7     Am                Gm                        Dm
With a kiss and a wave - 'Come Home Weekends' that's if I can save.
             Dm
I swear I'll take it out on the man -
           G/A         Dm/A   A
Who ever devised this economy plan.


Dm Dm(maj7) C#aug Dm7 (x2)


Ebmaj7              Bbmaj7
All the love in the world - can't put -
Ebmaj7        Bbmaj7
Dinner on the table -
    Abmaj7              Ebmaj7                 F/G     G/A
Oh, all the hate that I feel no love could put right


     Dm              Dm(maj7)
Good morning day and how do you do
         C#aug                Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
         Dm                     Dm(maj7)
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
         C#aug                      Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -


         Bbmaj7      Am               Gm                    Dm
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
        Bbmaj7       Am                Gm                  Dm
All the love and the strength has been taken by this Government,
                         Dm
You see they tell you to move around -
             G/A          Dm/A     A
If you can't find work in your own town.

Dm Dm(maj7) C#aug Dm7 (x2)
(guitar solo)

Dm                       Dm(maj7)
Father's in the kitchen, counting out coins,
C#aug                    Dm7
Mother's in the bedroom, looking through pictures of her boys,
Dm                Dm(maj7)
One is in London, looking for a job,
C#aug                     Dm7
The other's in Whitehall, looking for those responsible!
