Verse:



Dm    F         Dm  G           Dm          Am              F   C

Hey  hey hey  hey   There'll be food on the table tonight



Dm    F         Dm  G           Dm          Am

Hey  hey hey  hey   There'll be pay in your pocket tonight



G     C                               Am

My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken



  C                              Am

My life that is lived is no  more than token



      F                               G                Am

Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why



Bdim      C                        Am

If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence 



    C                       Am 

The Screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence



   F                                 G                    Am

They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why





Chorus:



Am       Dm       F           Dm         G

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine



G           Dm           Am              F     C

There'll be food on the table to night



C       Dm             F         Dm         G

Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine



G            Dm             Am         F    G

There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight





Verse:



C                                Am

The  candy store pauupers lie to share holders



        C                              Am

They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers



F                    G                   Am      

The balance sheet is breaking up the sky



Bdim         C                    Am

So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine



     C                           Am

The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine



          F                          G                  Am

Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night





Bridge:



Am         Bb/E              Dm              G

And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue



G      Bb/E               Dm             G

If the sugar refinning company won't save me



F   Bb              C

    Who's gonna save me



Am                  C

    Who's gonna save me 



Am                  C

    Who's gonna save me





Chorus:



C           Dm       F          Dm        G

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine



G           Dm            Am          F

There'll be food on the table to night



C           Dm           F          Dm        G

And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine



G           Dm             Am          F

There'll be pay in your pocket tonight



C    Dm        F               Dm       G

And some have sailed from a distant shore



G       Dm                Am          F     C

And the company takes what the company wants



    Dm          F       Dm      G            Dm       Am    F   G

And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground

   Who's gonna save me



Am  F                   G

I pray that sense and reason

   Who's gonna save me

   Who's gonna save me

We go nothing to fear



C                          Am

In the end the rain comes down



C                          Am  

In the end the rain comes down



F                       G                 C

Washes clean the streets of the blue sky town
