Ebm Gb/Db Ebm Db Ebm Bbm Gb/Db Db
Ebm Gb/Db Ebm Db Ebm Bbm

Ebm     Gb/Db     Ebm Db
   Hey, hey, hey, hey
            Ebm           Bbm        Gb/Db Db
There'll be food on the table tonight
Ebm    Gb/Db    Ebm   Db
   Hey,     hey,   hey
            Ebm           Bbm         Gb/Db Db
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

[Verse 1]
     Db
My gut is wrenched out,
Ab    Bbm
it is crunched up and broken
   Db                 Ab    Bbm
My life that is lived is no more than a token
       Gb/Db                     Ab                    Bbm
Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why?
Cdim         Db             Ab        Bbm
    If I yell  out at night there's a reply of blue silence
    Db
The screen is no comfort,
Ab Bbm
I  can't speak my sentence
     Gb/Db                       Ab                       Bbm
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why

[Chorus]
         Ebm         Gb/Db       Ebm      Db
But if I work all day     on the Blue Sky Mine
            Ebm           Bbm        Gb/Db Db
There'll be food on the table tonight
        Ebm             Gb/Db       Ebm      Db
Still I walk up and down     on the Blue Sky Mine
            Ebm           Bbm         Gb/Db Db
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

[Verse 2]
    Db                  Ab  Bbm
The candy store paupers lie to the shareholders
        Db
They're crossing their fingers,
Ab   Bbm
they pay the truth makers
Gb/Db                  Ab                    Bbm
     The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
Cdim             Db
    So I'm caught  at the junction,
Ab    Bbm
still waiting for medicine
    Db               Ab       Bbm
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
         Gb/Db                   Ab                       Bbm
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night

[Bridge]
           B               Ebm               Ab
And if the Blue Sky Mining Company won't come  to my rescue
       B                 Ebm            Ab
If the sugar refining company won't save  me
Gb/Db B               Db   Ab Bbm
      Who's gonna save  me?
                Db   Ab Bbm
Who's gonna save  me?
                Db
Who's gonna save  me?

[Chorus]
         Ebm         Gb/Db       Ebm      Db
But if I work all day     on the Blue Sky Mine
            Ebm           Bbm        Gb/Db Db
There'll be food on the table tonight
         Ebm             Gb/Db       Ebm      Db
And if I walk up and down     on the Blue Sky Mine
            Ebm           Bbm         Gb/Db Db
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
        Ebm           Gb/Db       Ebm     Db
And some   have sailed     from a distant shore
        Ebm          Bbm            Gb/Db     Db
And the company takes   what the company wants
    Ebm          Gb/Db   Ebm   Db            Ebm   Bbm Gb/Db Db
And nothing's as precious   as a hole in the ground

[Interlude]
Db Ab Bbm Db Ab Bbm Gb/Db Ab Bbm

[Bridge]
Gb/Db Ebm Ab Gb/Db
Ebm Ab
Gb/Db B               Db   Ab Bbm
      Who's gonna save  me?
                Db Ab Bbm
Who's gonna save   me?
      Gb/Db               Ab                 Db Ab Bbm
I pray     that sense and reason brings us in
                Db   Ab Bbm
Who's gonna save  me?
                  Gb/Db Ab
We got nothing to fear 

[Outro]
Db                  Ab    Bbm
In the end the rain comes down
  Db                 Ab    Bbm
In  the end the rain comes down
Gb/Db            Ab                      Db
Washes clean the streets of the Blue Sky town
