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