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