[Verse]
D A D
My father was a big strong man, he worked hard all his life
A
He was always in the whisky glass and never out of strife
G D Bm
He called no man his master, and very few his friend
G D A
B proud and stiff-necked man he was, he’d never bowed nor bend
G D A D
But they broke him in the end, when they'd no use for him
[Chorus]
D A D
For they took away his job when they'd no use for him any more
A
After nearly thirty years they kicked him out the door
G D Bm
But they let him keep his railway jacket, overcoat, and cap
G D A
And a pension of nine bob a week, he was lucky to get that
G D A D
And they nearly broke his heart, when they'd no use for him
[Verse]
D A D
Now I spent much of my childhood days up in that signal box
A
High in my father's castle, twenty feet above the tracks
G D
And crash would go the signals as he flicked them with his hand
G D A
And the mighty cars of steam and steel would stop at his command
G D A D
And oh, but it was grand, when they had a use for him
[Chorus]
D A D
But they took away his job when they'd no use for him any more
A
After nearly thirty years they kicked him out the door
G D Bm
But they let him keep his railway jacket, overcoat, and cap
G D A
And a pension of nine bob a week, he was lucky to get that
G D A D
And they nearly broke his heart, when they'd no use for him
[Verse]
D A D
When you're fifty-five years old and youre looking for some work
A
Nobody wants to know your face no-one gives you a start
G D Bm
So I watched him growing older and more bitter every day
G D A
As his pride and self-respect, well they slowly drain away
G D A D
There was nothing I could say - they had no use for him
[Chorus]
D A D
For they took away his job when they'd no use for him any more
A
After nearly thirty years they kicked him out the door
G D Bm
But they let him keep his railway jacket, overcoat, and cap
G D A
And a pension of nine bob a week, he was lucky to get that
G D A D
And they nearly broke his heart, when they'd no use for him
G D A A D
Yes I know they broke his heart when they'd no use for him.
