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:
D Bm
My gut is wrenched out and is crunched up and broken
D Bm
My life that is lived is no more than a token
G2 A
Who’ll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why
D Bm
If I yell out at night, theres a reply of blue silence
D Bm
The screen is no comfort, I cant speak my sentence
G2 A
They blew the lights at heavens gate and I dont know why
Chorus :
Em Dsus2 Em G1
And if I work all day in the blue sky mine
Em Dsus2 Em G1
There’ll be food on the table tonight
Em Dsus2 Em G1
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
Em Dsus2 Em G1
There’ll be pay in my pocket tonight
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 :
Em A
And if the blue sky mining company wont come to the rescue
Em A
If the sugar refining company wont save me
C G6 D A Bm
Whos gonna save me?
D A Bm
Whos gonna save me?
D A Bm
Whos gonna save me?
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
