[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 Em
He called no man his master, and very few his friend
C G D
E 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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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.
