F/CC A room on the top floor BbC And the chest all but knackered BbC Two fingers not wo-rking F/C And the back’s shot to hell AmC/G It’s a lifetime of digging trenches FC In the cold and wet weather C And for laying half the roadway BbC In England as well
F/CC You’d finish in the one place BbC It was straight to the next one BbC And you never could settle F And you were always alone AmC/G Just a drifter in limbo FC I was best off away, son C Just one of the thousands BbC Who could never go home
BbCBb6 That’s your mighty man, son GmC Your mighty man
FC Well, the boat and the train ride BbC In a misty November BbC We had the worst of the lodgings F And we hated the subs AmC/G Ma’s face on the leaving FC I will always remember C And we wouldn’t get paid BbC Until they had closed up their pubs
