Intro
F#2 C# F#2 C#
F#2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
C#
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
F#2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
C#
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
F#2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
A#m C#
the boys on the line working just to eat.
F#2 C# G#
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
F#2
D# child working day and night,
A#m C#
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
F#2 C# G#
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
F#2 C# G# (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
A#m C# G# A#m F# G#
F#2
From the dear old age of Adam
C#
to the workers of Boaz,
F#2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
C# G#
yet it's made me who I am.
F#2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
C#
to the trucker and his load,
F#2
all feeding that old fat cat
C#
just hoping he'll explode.

A#m C# G#
We've been working for far too long.
A#m C# G#
We've been doomed to hear this lowly song for our sons.
A#m C# G#
Our sweat must be working just to fall.
F#2 C# G#
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
F#2 C# G#
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
