F Bb F
I've been working in this factory For nigh on fifteen years
Bb F C
All this time I watched my woman drowning in a pool of tears
F Bb F
And I've seen a lot of good folk die who had a lot of bills to pay
Bb F C F Bb F
I'd give the shirt right off of my back if I had the guts to say
Go to chorus
(play above before this verse)
F Bb F
Well that foreman he's a regular dog the line boss he's a fool
Bb F C
Got a brand new flattop haircut Lord he thinks he's cool
F Bb F
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top and that sucker he's gonna pay
Bb F C G
Lord I can't wait to see their faces when I get the nerve to say...
Go to chorus
