               F/C  C
A room on the top floor

                        Bb   C
And the chest all but knackered

                 Bb  C
Two fingers not wo-rking

                        F/C
And the back’s shot to hell

                             Am      C/G
It’s a lifetime of digging trenches

                     F   C
In the cold and wet weather

                         C
And for laying half the roadway

   Bb          C
In England as well

                    F/C   C
You’d finish in the one place

                        Bb  C
It was straight to the next one

                     Bb  C
And you never could settle

                      F
And you were always alone

                   Am    C/G
Just a drifter in limbo

                 F    C
I was best off away, son

                  C
Just one of the thousands

           Bb       C
Who could never go home

                    Bb   C   Bb6
That’s your mighty man, son

      Gm     C
Your mighty man

                         F    C
Well, the boat and the train ride

              Bb C
In a misty November

                         Bb C
We had the worst of the lodgings

                  F
And we hated the subs

                  Am      C/G
Ma’s face on the leaving

                 F  C
I will always remember

                     C
And we wouldn’t get paid

                 Bb             C
Until they had closed up their pubs
| F C | C | Bb C | C | | Bb C | C | F | F | | Am | C/G | F C | C | | C Bb | C | % |
                         F/C  C
And I could stand up on horseback

                     Bb C
Was the man for the singing

                    Bb C
Put my hand up for boxing

                          F
At the fairground on the heath

                   Am      C/G
I could play my accordion

                      F C
And charm all of the women

                     C
And dance round the taproom

         Bb         C
With a chair in my teeth

                    Bb   C   Bb6
That’s your mighty man, son

      Gm     C
Your mighty man

                    Bb   C   Bb6
That’s your mighty man, son

      Gm     C
Your mighty man
