G2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
D
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
G2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
D
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
G2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
Bm D
the boys on the line working just to eat.
G2 D A
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
G2
E child working day and night,
Bm D
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
G2 D A
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
G2 D A (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
Bm D A Bm G A
G2
From the dear old age of Adam
D
to the workers of Boaz,
G2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
D A
yet it's made me who I am.
G2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
D
to the trucker and his load,
G2
all feeding that old fat cat
D
just hoping he'll explode.

Bm D A
We've been working for far too long.
Bm D A
We've been doomed to hear this lowly song for our sons.
Bm D A
Our sweat must be working just to fall.

I'm a slave to that whistle call.
