Dm Hey F hey hey Dm hey G
There'll be Dm food on the Am table toFnight C
Dm Hey F hey Dm hey G
There'll be Dm pay in your Am pocket toFnight

C My gut is wrenched out it's Am crunched up and broken
C My life that is lived is Am no more than token
Who'll F strike the flint up on the G stone and tell me Am why
B If I yell C out at night there's a reAmply of blue silence
The C Screen is no comfort I Am can't speak my sentence
They F blew the lights at heaven's G gate and I don't know Am why

Chorus:
But if I Dm work all F day on the Dm blue sky G mine
There'll be Dm food on the Am table toFnight C
Still I Dm walk up and F down on the Dm blue sky G mine
There'lll be Dm pay in your Am pocket toFnight
C The candy store paupers lie to Am shareholders
C Crossing their fingers they Am pay the truth makers
F The balance sheet is G breaking up the Am sky B
So I'm C caught at junction still Am waiting for medicine
The C sweat of my brow keeps on Am feeding the engine
Hope the F crumbs in my pocket can G keep me for another Am night

Am And if the Bb/E blue sky mining Dm company Won't G come to my rescue
G If the Bb/E sugar refining Dm company Won't G save me F
Bb Who's gonna C save me?
Am Who's gonna C save me?
Am Who's gonna C save me?

--Chorus

C And Dm some have F sailed from a Dm distant G shore
G And the Dm company takes what Am the company F wants C
Ain't Dm nothing as F precious Dm as a G hole in the Dm ground Am F G

F Bb Who's gonna C save me
Am Who's gonna saveC me
Am I F pray that sense and reaGson
G Who's gonna save C me
Am Who's gonna save C me
Am We got nothing to fear F G
C In the end the rain comes Am down
C In the end the rain comes Am down
F Washes clean the streets G of the blue sky C town
