The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down

Money's gettin' shallow and weak

My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf

Come sit down on my knee
	C		       G/B
You are dearer to me than myself
Am7/A		     D7/D
As you yourself can see
		G		    G/F#
While I'm listening to the steel rails hum
G/E		      G/D
Got both eyes tight shut
	C			 	G/B
Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from

Creeping it's way into my gut

Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

Well, I'm sailin' on back, ready for the long haul

Tossed by the winds and the seas
               C			 G/B
I'll drag 'em all down to hell and I'll stand 'em at the wall
Am7/A			   D7/D
I'll sell 'em to their enemies
        G			G/F#
I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought
 G/E			G/D
Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
	C		G/B
Sometimes no one wants what we got

Sometimes you can't give it away

	     G		            G/F#
Now the place is ringed with countless foes

Some of them may be deaf and dumb

No man, no woman knows

The hour that sorrow will come

In the dark I hear the night birds call

I can feel a lover's breath
   C			 	G/B
I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
Am7/A			 D7/D
Sleep is like a temporary death

(repeat chorus)

		G		    	G/F#
Well, they burned my barn, and they stole my horse
G/E		    G/D
I can't save a dime
	C		   G/B
I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced
Am7/A			 D7/D
Into a life of continual crime
	G		         G/F#
I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
G/E				    G/D
How I wish you were here to see
C			 G/B
Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
Am7/A		     D7/D
That you have forgotten me?
		G		    		G/F#
Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
G/E			 G/D
They waste your nights and days
C		     G/B
Them I will forget
Am7/A			     D7/D
But you I'll remember always
	G		    G/F#
Old memories of you to me have clung
G/E				   G/D
You've wounded me with your words
C			 	G/B
Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
Am7/A		     	D7/D
It's all true, everything you've heard

(repeat chorus)

     G		       G/F#
In you, my friend, I find no blame
G/E			   G/D
Wanna look in my eyes, please do
C		       G/B
    	No one can ever claim
Am7/A		   	 D7/D
That I took up arms against you
	G		    G/F#
All across the peaceful sacred fields
G/E		       G/D
They will lay you low
	C			 G/B
They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
Am7/A		     D7/D
I say it so it must be so

	     G			       G/F#
Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
G/E		      G/D
Gonna give you another chance
     C			 G/B
I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
 Am7/A			 D7/D
To lead me off in a cheerful dance
	  G		           G/F#
I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
G/E			    G/D
I can live on rice and beans
C			 	G/B
Some people never worked a day in their life
Am7/A		     	   D7/D
Don't know what work even means
