GB7Em Am7 D7G
Oh I laid down your railroads, every mile of track.
B7EmAm7 D7G
With the muscles on my arm and the sweat upon my back.
G7CG C G
And now the trains are rolling, they roll to every shore
C G A7 D
You tell me that my job is through, there ain't no work no more.
GB7Em Am7 D7 G
Though I laid down your highways all across the land.
B7 EmAm7 D7G
With the ringing of the steel and the power of my hands.
G7C GCG
And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky,
C GA7 D
You tell me that my job is through but still I wonder why.

Em Bm
For the wages were low and the hours were long
Em D7
And the labour was all I could bear.
EmBm
Now you've got new machines for to take my place
Am7D7
And you tell me it's not mine to share.
GB7EmAm7 D7 G
Though I laid down your factories and laid down your fields,
B7 Em Am7D7 G
With my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels.
G7CG CG
And now the smoke is rising, the steel is all a-glow,
CGD7G
I'm walking down a jobless road and where am I to go.

(repeat)

EmAm D7G
Tell me, where am I to go.
