Automation Song

     G    B7        Em   Am7   
Oh I laid down your railroads, 
D7            G
every mile of track.
                 B7    Em  Am7    
With the muscles on my arm and the
 D7            G
 sweat upon my back.
G7  C                  G        
And now the trains are rolling, 
     C             G
they roll to every shore
    C               G             
You tell me that my job is 
        A7               D
through, there ain't no work no 
more.
         G    B7        Em Am7   
Though I laid down your highways 
D7           G
all across the land.
                 B7     Em    Am7
With the ringing of the steel and
     D7          G
 the power of my hands.
G7  C       G                    
And now the roads are there like 
C              G
ribbons in the sky,

    C               G             
You tell me that my job is through
     A7             D
 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.
           Em                      
Now you've got new machines for to 
Bm
take my place
        Am7                      
And you tell me it's not mine to 
D7
share.
         G    B7        Em  Am7 
Though I laid down your 
      D7             G
factories and laid down your fields,
             B7     Em     Am7    
With my feet on the ground and my 
D7           G
back to your wheels.
G7  C                G           
And now the smoke is rising, the 
C              G
steel is all a-glow,
    C              G              
I'm walking down a jobless road 
  D7            G
and where am I to go.

(repeat)

Em      Am       D7    G
Tell me, where am I to go.
