A#m G# F#
A#m
I'm an ordinary man, nothing special nothing grand
F# G# A#m
I've had to work for everything I own
A#m G# F#
A#m
I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I'd got
F# G# A#m
Enough to keep my family and my home
F# G#
C# A#m
Now they say that times are hard and they've handed me my cards
F# F
They say there's not the work to go around
A#m G# F#
A#m
And when the whistle blows, the gates will finally close
F# G#
A#m
Tonight they're going to shut this factory down
F# G# A#m F# G#
A#m
Then they'll tear it d-o-w-n
A#m G# F#
A#m
I never missed a day nor went on strike for higher pay
F# G# A#m
For twenty years I served them best I could
A#m G# F#
A#m
Now with a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget
F# G#
A#m
Loyalty through the bad times and through good
F# G# C#
A#m
The owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad
F#
F
But the captains of industry won't let him lose
A#m G# F# A#m
He still drives a car and smokes his cigar
F# G# A#m
And still he takes his family on a cruise,
F# G# A#m F# G# A#m
he'll never l-o-s-e
A#m G# F# A#m
Well it seems to me such a cruel irony
F# G# A#m
He's richer now than ever he was before
A#m G# F#
A#m
Now my cheque is spent and I can't afford the rent
F# G#
A#m
There's one law for the rich, one for the poor
F# G# C# A#m
Every day I've tried to salvage some of my pride
F#
F
To find some work so's I might pay my way
A#m G# F#
A#m
Oh but everywhere I go, the answer's always no
F# G# A#m
There's no work for anyone here today,
F# G# A#m F# G# A#m
no work t-o-D-A-y
A#m G# F#
A#m
And so condemned I stand, just an ordinary man
F# G# A#m
Like thousands beside me in the queue
A#m G# F#
A#m
I watch my darling wife trying to make the best of life
F# G#
A#m
And God knows what the kids are going to do
F# G# C# A#m
Now that we are faced ... with this human waste
F# F
A# ge---neration cast aside
A#m G# F# A#m
And as long as I live, I never will forgive
F# G# A#m
You've stripped me of my dignity and pride,
F# G# A#m
F# G# A#m
you've stripped me B-A-r-E, you've stripped me B-A-r-E,
F# G# A#m
you've stripped me B-A-r-E.
