Intro
B2 F# B2 F#
B2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
F#
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
B2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
F#
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
B2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
D#m F#
the boys on the line working just to eat.
B2 F# C#
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
B2
G# child working day and night,
D#m F#
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
B2 F# C#
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
B2 F# C# (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
D#m F# C# D#m B C#
B2
From the dear old age of Adam
F#
to the workers of Boaz,
B2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
F# C#
yet it's made me who I am.
B2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
F#
to the trucker and his load,
B2
all feeding that old fat cat
F#
just hoping he'll explode.

D#m F# C#
We've been working for far too long.
D#m F# C#
We've been doomed to hear this lowly song for our sons.
D#m F# C#
Our sweat must be working just to fall.
B2 F# C#
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
B2 F# C#
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
