[Intro]

F   G   Am   (x3)


[Verse 1]

Am               G        
I’m an ordinary man, nothing 
      F               Am
special, nothing grand
      F                G          
I’ve had to work for everything I 
Am
own
Am                   G           
I never asked for a lot, I was 
F               Am
happy with what I got
   F                G            Am
Enough to keep my family and my home


   F                         G    
Now they say that times are hard 
             Am           F
and they’ve handed me my cards
           F                       
They say there’s not the work to go
    E
 around
 Am                    G      
And when the whistle blows, the 
    F                 Am
gates will finally close
      F                   G       
Tonight they’re going to shut this
          Am
 factory down
                     F   G   Am
And they’ll tear it d-o-w-n

F   G   Am


[Verse 2]

Am                G              
I never missed a day, nor went on
   F                Am
 strike for better pay
       F         G                
For 20 years I served them best I 
  Am
could
 Am                          G    
Now with a handshake and a cheque 
             F        Am
it seems so easy to forget
      F              G            
Loyalty through the bad times and 
         Am
through good

 F                   G            
The owner says he’s sad to see 
    Am                F
that things have got so bad
           F                       
But the captains of industry won’t 
         E
let him lose
Am                 G        F   
He still drives a car and smokes
      Am
 his cigar
F                     G      
And still takes his family on a 
     Am                F   G   Am
cruise, he’ll never lose


[Instrumental]

F   G   Am


[Verse 3]

Am              G           
Now it seems to me such a cruel 
F    Am
irony
       F              G        
He’s richer now than ever he was 
    Am
before
Am                G          F  
Now my check is spent and I cant
             Am
 afford the rent
         F               G        
There’s one law for the rich, one 
         Am
for the poor
   F             G               
Every day I’ve tried to salvage 
C     G    Am
some of my pride
      F                            
To find some work so’s I might pay 
    E
my way
Am                  G          F
Oh but everywhere I go, the 
           Am
answers always no
F                     G      
There’s no work for anyone here 
     Am
today
            F   G   Am
No work t-o-d-a-y


[Instrumental]

F   G   Am


[Verse 4]

Am                   G           
And so condemned I stand, just an
    F     Am
 ordinary man
         F       G            
Like thousands beside me in the 
    Am
queue
Am                  G             
I watch my darling wife trying to 
 F                Am
make the best of life
 F                      G     
And God knows what the kids are 
           Am
going to do
  F               G         C
Now that we are faced with this 
    Am     F
human waste
F                   E
A generation cast aside
Am            G       F     
As long as I live, I never will 
       Am
forgive,
           F                G     
You’ve stripped me of my dignity 
    Am                     F  G  Am
and pride, you stripped me bare
                  F  G  Am   
You’ve stripped me bare, you’ve 
               F  G  Am
stripped me bare
