Verse:

Dm    F         Dm  G           Dm          Am              F   C
Hey  hey hey  hey   There'll be food on the table tonight

Dm    F         Dm  G           Dm          Am
Hey  hey hey  hey   There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

G     C                               Am
My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken

  C                              Am
My life that is lived is no  more than token

      F                               G                Am
Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why

Bdim      C                        Am
If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence

    C                       Am
The Screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence

   F                                 G                    Am
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why


Chorus:

Am       Dm       F           Dm         G
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine

G           Dm           Am              F     C
There'll be food on the table to night

C       Dm             F         Dm         G
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

G            Dm             Am         F    G
There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight


Verse:

C                                Am
The  candy store pauupers lie to share holders

        C                              Am
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers

F                    G                   Am
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

Bdim         C                    Am
So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine

     C                           Am
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine

          F                          G                  Am
Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night


Bridge:

Am         Bb/E              Dm              G
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue

G      Bb/E               Dm             G
If the sugar refinning company won't save me

F   Bb              C
    Who's gonna save me

Am                  C
    Who's gonna save me

Am                  C
    Who's gonna save me


Chorus:

C           Dm       F          Dm        G
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine

G           Dm            Am          F
There'll be food on the table to night

C           Dm           F          Dm        G
And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

G           Dm             Am          F
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

C    Dm        F               Dm       G
And some have sailed from a distant shore

G       Dm                Am          F     C
And the company takes what the company wants

    Dm          F       Dm      G            Dm       Am    F   G
And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground

We go nothing to fear

In the end the rain comes down

Washes clean the streets of the blue sky town
