Intro
E2 B E2 B
E2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
B
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
E2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
B
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
E2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
G#m B
the boys on the line working just to eat.
E2 B F#
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
E2
C# child working day and night,
G#m B
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
E2 B F#
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
E2 B F# (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
G#m B F# G#m E F#
E2
From the dear old age of Adam
B
to the workers of Boaz,
E2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
B F#
yet it's made me who I am.
E2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
B
to the trucker and his load,
E2
all feeding that old fat cat
B
just hoping he'll explode.

G#m B F#
We've been working for far too long.
G#m B F#
We've been doomed to hear this lowly song for our sons.
G#m B F#
Our sweat must be working just to fall.
E2 B F#
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
E2 B F#
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
