C            G             C    
Fifteen long years in the strip 
         F
mill at Ravenscraig,
C           F           C       
twenty-five more in the bowels 
      G
of the earth,
C           G       C        F
digging for fuel to fire the bosses
    C               F            
who turn around and tell us that 
G             C
we've no more work.



(Chorus)
C              G        C        
Close it down, shut it. Not enough 
  F
profit.
C           F               C   
Padlock the gates, aye, and send
         G
 the men home.

C            G      C            
No sir, not viable; we've become 
F
liable
        C             F           
for the working class people, 
  G           C
whose work is all done.


C                 G          C  
Long days in the shipyards, 
     F
quietly waiting,
C          F         C       G
redundancy notice in holiday pay.
C          G         C         
Privatized power for fortunate 
F
people
      C             F           G
with shares in the marketplace 
         C
ready to trade.



(Chorus)


C            G           C      
Fat cats are sharing the cream 
      F
of the booty
      C          F            C  
while people lay shivering in 
      G
boxes of card.
C       G      C           F
No jobs today; come back tomorrow.
      C             F             
We'll tell you the same thing, it 
G        C
isn't so hard.



(Chorus)


C            G            C     
Lay off the workers, the 
       F
fathers, the sons;
C           F                C  
people who spent their lives 
       G
under the ground
C         G           C         
earning a wage for a family to keep 
F
all their
C           F                G  
heads above water, 'til the next
          C
 work is found.
