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