Lyrics
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 ain't 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 you've got new machines for to take my place Am7 d7 And you tell me it's 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 I'm walking down a jobless road and where am I to go
(Repeat)
Em am d7 g Tell me, where am I to go
