Intro
(w/ Opening Riff)
Em Dsus2 Em G Em Dsus2 G1 (Chorus Chord Pattern)
Hey hey hey hey, There'll be food on the table tonight
(Continue Chorus Pattern)
Hey hey hey hey, There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
Verse 1:
DMy gut is wrenBmched out and is crunched up and broken
My Dlife that is lived is no Bmmore than a token
Who'll G2strike theA flint up on the stone and tell me why
If I Dyell out at night, theres a Bmreply of blue silence
The Dscreen is no comfort, I Bmcant speak my sentence
They G2blew theA lights at heavens gate and I dont know why
Chorus :
AndEm if I worDsus2k all day iEmn the bluG1e sky mine
There'll be Emfood on the Dsus2table EmtonightG1
Still I Emwalk up and Dsus2down on the Emblue sky G1mine
There'll be Empay in my Dsus2pocket EmtonightG1
Verse 2 :
The Candy Store paupers lie to the share holders
They're crossing their fingers as they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat on my brow keeps feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
Bridge :
And if the Emblue sky mining company wont Acome to the rescue
If the Emsugar refining company wont Asave me
C WG6hos gonna save Dme' A Bm
Whos Dgonna savAe mBme'
Whos Dgonna savAe mBme'
Chorus :
But if I work all day in the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
but I still walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'll be pay on your pocket tonight
and some have sailed from a distant shore
and the company takes what the company wants
and theres nothing as precious, as a hole in the ground
