Bass and guitar:

Between the Gm and Dm7 where there's a * - here alternate quickly between Gm and Gm7
a couple of times to (i can't think of the word) what the bass is playing.
Intro:
j7)
Good morning day and how do you do
(maj7)
I wonder what will you do for me?
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
(maj7)
I should be all the things that I'm not -
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
Like my Brother has too, got to move to get out of this view,
You see they tell you to move around -
If you can't find work in your own town.
As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man
(maj7)
Blaming Heaven and Mother for this
Thirty years with one firm, thirteen months redundant,
(maj7)
Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some -
Now our tears fall like rain, as my Mother walks me to my train,
With a kiss and a wave - 'Come Home Weekends' that's if I can save.
I swear I'll take it out on the man -
Who ever devised this economy plan.
j7)
(organ solo)
All the love in the world - can't put -
Dinner on the table -
Oh, all the hate that I feel no love could put right
Good morning day and how do you do
(maj7)
I wonder what will you do for me?
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
(maj7)
I should be all the things that I'm not -
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
All the love and the strength has been taken by this Government,
You see they tell you to move around -
If you can't find work in your own town.
j7)
(guitar solo)
Father's in the kitchen, counting out coins,
(maj7)
Mother's in the bedroom, looking through pictures of her boys,
One is in London, looking for a job,
(maj7)
The other's in Whitehall, looking for those responsible!
Father's in the kitchen, counting out coins,
(maj7)
Mother's in the bedroom, looking through pictures of her boys,
One is in London, looking for a job,
(maj7)
The other's in Whitehall, looking for those responsible!
