From: sjohnson@usa.net Millworker Words and Music by James Taylor (c) 1979 Country Road Music G F/G G G D/G G G/G D/G Now my grandfather was a sailor, he blew in off the water
GMy father was a D/Gfarmer and IC/G, his only dauD/Gghter, Gtook up with a nD/Go-good millworking maC/Gn from MassachuD/Gsetts who Gdies from too much D/Gwhiskey and C/Gleaves me these three D/Gfaces to fGeed G Fsus2 C6/E D7sus4
D/GMill-work ain't eaGsy; C/Gmill-work ain't D/Ghard GMill-work, it ain't D/Gnothing but an C/Gawful boring D/Gjob I'm Gwaiting for a D/Gday dream to C/Gtake me through the D/Gmorning and Gput me in my cD/Goffee break where C/GI can have a D/Gsandwich and reGmember
F(addD) C6/E Then it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning Cm/D# D7sus4 for the rest of the afternoon G F/G G F/G and the rest of my life Now my mind begins to wander to the days back on the farm I can see my father smiling at me, swingin' on his arm I can hear my grand-dad's stories of the storms out on Lake Erie where vessels and cargos and fortunes and sailor's lives were lost Yes, but it's my life has been wasted, and I have been the fool to let this manufacture use my body for a tool. I can ride home in the evening, staring at my hands swearing by my sorrow that a young girl ought to stand a better chance F(addD) C6/E So may I work the mills just as long as I am able Cm/D# D7sus4 G and never meet the man whose name is on the label F(addD) C6/E It be me and my machine for the rest of the morning Cm/D# D7sus4 for the rest of the afternoon G F/G G F/G and the rest of my life --- D/G: xx0220 C/G: xx0433 Fsus2: x3x03x C6/E: x2x03x Cm/D#: x1x03x D7sus4: x02030 F(add9):x32030 F/G: xx0010
