Dm F Dm G Dm Am F C Hey hey hey hey There'll be food on the table tonight Dm F Dm G Dm Am F G Hey hey hey hey There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
[Verse 1]
C Am My gut is wrenched out, it is crunched up and broken C Am My life that is lived is no more than a token F G Am Bdim Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why C Am If I yell out at night, there's a reply of blue silence C Am The screen is no comfort, I can't speak my sentence F G Am They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why
[Chorus]
Dm F Dm G But if I work all day on the blue sky mine Dm Am F C There'll be food on the table tonight Dm F Dm G Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine Dm Am F G There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
[Verse 2]
C Am The candy store paupers lie to the share holders C Am They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers F G Am Bdim The balance sheet is breaking up the sky C Am So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine C Am The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine F G Am Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
[Bridge]
Bb Dm G And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue Bb Dm G If the sugar refining company won't save me F Bb C Who's gonna save me Am C Who's gonna save me Am C Who's gonna save me
[Chorus]
Dm F Dm G But if I work all day on the blue sky mine Dm Am F C There'll be food on the table tonight Dm F Dm G And if I walk up and down on the blue sky mine Dm Am F C There'll be pay in your pocket tonight Dm F Dm G And some have sailed from a distant shore Dm Am F C And the company takes what the company wants Dm F Dm G Dm Am F G And nothing's as precious as a hole in the ground [Solo 1] C Am C Am F e|-------------------|----------------------|------------------| B|-------------------|----------------------|----1--1--1---3b--| G|--0---0-0-0-0---2--|------0--0-0-0-0---2--|----0--2--2-------| D|--2---2-0-2-0---2--|------2--2-0-2-0---2--|--3---------------| A|----------------0--|----3--------------0--|------------------| E|-------------------|----------------------|------------------| G Am e|-------------------|-------------------| B|-------------------|-------------------| G|-------------------|---2-0-------------| D|--------0----------|---------2---0-----| A|--2--3------0------|-----------------3-| E|-------------------|-------------------|

[Outro]
F Bb C Who's gonna save me Am C Am Who's gonna save me F G I pray that sense and reason brings us in C (Who's gonna save me) Am C (Who's gonna save me) Am F G We got nothing to fear C Am In the end the rain comes down C Am In the end the rain comes down F G C Washes clean the streets of the blue sky town
