G b7 em am7 d7 g

Oh I laid down your railroads, every mile of track.

B7 em am7 d7 g

With the muscles on my arm and the sweat upon my back.

G7 c g c g

And now the trains are rolling, they roll to every shore

C g a7 d

You tell me that my job is through, there aint no work no more.

G b7 em am7 d7 g

Though I laid down your highways all across the land.

B7 em am7 d7 g

With the ringing of the steel and the power of my hands.

G7 c g c g

And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky,

C g a7 d

You tell me that my job is through 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 bm

Now youve got new machines for to take my place

Am7 d7

And you tell me its not mine to share.

G b7 em am7 d7 g

Though I laid down your factories and laid down your fields,

B7 em am7 d7 g

With my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels.

G7 c g c g

And now the smoke is rising, the steel is all a-glow,

C g d7 g

Im walking down a jobless road and where am I to go.

(repeat)

Em am d7 g

Tell me, where am I to go. /pre>
