Hey hey hey hey There'll be food on the table tonight
Dm F Dm G Dm Am

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

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

The candy store pauupers lie to share holders

They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers

So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine

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

Am Bb/E Dm G
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue

Who's gonna save me

Who's gonna save me

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

There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

And some have sailed from a distant shore

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
