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