Intro:
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7

Dm
Good morning day and how do you do
Dm(maj7) Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
Dm
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
Dm(maj7) Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -
Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm * Dm7
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm * Dm7
Like my Brother has too, got to move to get out of this view,
F
You see they tell you to move around -
G/A Dm/A Am
If you can't find work in your own town.

Dm
As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man
Dm(maj7) Dm7
Blaming Heaven and Mother for this
Dm
Thirty years with one firm, thirteen months redundant,
Dm(maj7) Dm7
Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some -
Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm * Dm7
Now our tears fall like rain, as my Mother walks me to my train,
Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm * Dm7
With a kiss and a wave - 'Come Home Weekends' that's if I can save.
F
I swear I'll take it out on the man -
G/A Dm/A Am
Who ever devised this economy plan.
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7

(organ solo)
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
Good morning day and how do you do
Dm(maj7) Dm7
I wonder what will you do for me?
Dm
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
Dm(maj7) Dm7
I should be all the things that I'm not -
Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm * Dm7
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,
F
You see they tell you to move around -
G/A Dm/A Am
If you can't find work in your own town.

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