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