D2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
A
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
D2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
A
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
D2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
F#m A
the boys on the line working just to eat.
D2 A E
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
D2
B child working day and night,
F#m A
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
D2 A E
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
D2 A E (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
F#m A E F#m D E
D2
From the dear old age of Adam
A
to the workers of Boaz,
D2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
A E
yet it's made me who I am.
D2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
A
to the trucker and his load,
D2
all feeding that old fat cat
A
just hoping he'll explode.

F#m A E
We've been working for far too long.
F#m A E
We've been doomed to hear this lowly song for our sons.
F#m A E
Our sweat must be working just to fall.
D2 A E
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
D2 A E
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
