Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

One of my favourite Great Big Sea songs. Its apparently written by a folk singer named Ron Angel,
but I've never found any version other than this one. On record, GBS sings it a cappella, but I
decided to figure out chords for playing it on the guitar. I'm fairly certain
this song's in F minor, so
the easiest way to play it is to capo on the 2nd fret and play the chords in Em.
Hopefully its pretty
accurate. Cheers.

[Chorus]
Em D Em
And it's go boys go,
G Em
They'll time your every breath,
G Em
And every day you're in this place
G D Em
You're two days nearer death
Em
But you go

[Verse 1]
Em G Em
A process man am I and I'm telling you no lie
Em G Em
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky
Em D G D
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
Em G Em D Em
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair

[Chorus]
Em D Em
And it's go boys go,
G Em
They'll time your every breath,
G Em
And every day you're in this place
G D Em
You're two days nearer death
Em
But you go

[Verse 2]
Em G Em
Well I work among the spinners and I breathe the oily smoke
Em G Em
I shoveled up the gypsum and it nigh on made you choke
Em D G D
I've stood knee deep in cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
Em G Em D Em
Been working rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turn

[Chorus]
Em D Em
And it's go boys go,
G Em
They'll time your every breath,
G Em
And every day you're in this place
G D Em
You're two days nearer death
Em
But you go

[Verse 3]
Em G Em
There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore
Em G Em
The young men like their money and they all come back for more
Em D G D
But soon you're knockin on and you look older than you should
Em G Em D Em
For every bob made on the job you pay with flesh and blood

[Chorus]
Em D Em
And it's go boys go,
G Em
They'll time your every breath,
G Em
And every day you're in this place
G D Em
You're two days nearer death
Em
But you go

[Verse 4]
Em G Em
A process man am I and I'm telling you no lie
Em G Em
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky
Em D G D
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
Em G Em D Em
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair

[Chorus]
Em D Em
And it's go boys go,
G Em
They'll time your every breath,
G Em
And every day you're in this place
G D Em
You're two days nearer death
Em
But you go
