[Intro]
Bm ////// G // Hey Mr. Gold Man! Bm G Where's my pay? Bm G Hmmm Mr. Gold Man! Bm G Not one more day. Bm G F# //////// Misterrrrr! Can't you hear my children cryin’?
[Verse 1]
Bm //// G //// Came to Pretoria in ’46, Bm F# to find myself a job. Bm G Met a man with a broken arm, he said: C#m G#7 Bm F# Come along with us, get onto the bus.
[Chorus 1]
Bm G D F# Bm Hey Mr. Gold Man! I'm for sale! Bm G D F# Bm Hey Mr. Gold Man! Please don't turn away. Bm G D F# Bm G F# Hey Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear my tummy rumbling?
[Verse 2]
Bm F# So we continued down the road, Bm G till we got to the mine. Bm G Dirt and dust all around us now. C#m G#7 Bm F# Hey! I didn't mind, cause I'm on the workline. Oh!
[Chorus 2]
Bm G D F# Bm Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where's my pay? Bm G D F# Bm Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't wait another day. Bm G D F# Bm G F# Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't you see I'm almost dying?
[Verse 3]
Bm F# Then I heard a good friend say: Bm F# “There's a happening in Town” Bm G Come and join the Union, boy. C#m G#7 Bm F# 'Cause today, we ain't going down, we're gonna stand our ground.
[Chorus 3]
Bm G D F# Bm Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where's my pay? Bm G D F# Bm Oh Mr. Gold Man! Won't wait another day. Bm G D F# Bm G F# Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear the thunder coming? Ohhhhh!
[Chorus 4]
Bm G D F# Bm Hey Mr. Gold Man! Loose these chains. Bm G D F# Bm Time Mr. Gold Man! Change is on its way. Bm G D F# Bm G F# Go Mr. Gold Man! Don't come back, this is my country now
