Verse:

Dm F Dm G Dm Am F C

Hey hey hey hey There'll be food on the table tonight

Dm F Dm G Dm Am

Hey hey hey hey There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

G C Am

My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken

C Am

My life that is lived is no more than token

F G Am

Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why

Bdim C Am

If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence

C Am

The Screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence

F G Am

They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why

Chorus:

Am Dm F Dm G

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F C

There'll be food on the table to night

C Dm F Dm G

Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F G

There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight

Verse:

C Am

The candy store pauupers lie to share holders

C Am

They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers

F G Am

The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

Bdim C Am

So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine

C Am

The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine

F G Am

Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night

Bridge:

Am Bb/E Dm G

And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue

G Bb/E Dm G

If the sugar refinning company won't save me

F Bb C

Who's gonna save me

Am C

Who's gonna save me

Am C

Who's gonna save me

Chorus:

C Dm F Dm G

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F

There'll be food on the table to night

C Dm F Dm G

And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

G Dm Am F

There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

C Dm F Dm G

And some have sailed from a distant shore

G Dm Am F C

And the company takes what the company wants

Dm F Dm G Dm Am F G

And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground

We go nothing to fear

C Am

In the end the rain comes down

C Am

In the end the rain comes down

F G C

Washes clean the streets of the blue sky town
