A     A    A    A
   [Verse 1]
AWord Ecame like a F#mhammer,Night fell down like a shrouAd
AIt's caught me Edrinking trying to F#mturn back the clock
DThrough this industrial gAhost town
AI've known Egraft and I've F#mvoted well,ATrying to keep the LowlDands Bmred
ABut all I gets control in Bmforeign hands,DOther colours insAtead
   [Chorus]
F#mAll I want is a roof Aover my head
AAll I want is a Bmsteady job
AAll I want to do is F#msay I love you
DWith every penny I've Agot
F#mAnd all I think about are ADebbie and Jane
AGive them some kind of Bmchance in Dlife
ABut the long road running out the strip F#mmill gate
DHas got me Ewalking that Aline

[Intro]

A A A A

[Verse 1]

A E F#m A

Word came like a hammer,Night fell down like a shroud

A E F#m

It's caught me drinking trying to turn back the clock

D A

Through this industrial ghost town

A E F#m A D Bm

I've known graft and I've voted well,Trying to keep the Lowlands red

A Bm D A

But all I gets control in foreign hands,Other colours instead

[Chorus]

F#m A

All I want is a roof over my head

A Bm

All I want is a steady job

A F#m

All I want to do is say I love you

D A

With every penny I've got

F#m A

And all I think about are Debbie and Jane

A Bm D

Give them some kind of chance in life

A F#m

But the long road running out the strip mill gate

D E A

Has got me walking that line

[Instrumental]

A E D D A E D D

One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints,There's no investment here in life or in love

And now it's getting too late

[Chorus]

F#m A

All I want is a roof over my head

A Bm

All I want is a steady job

All I want to do is say I love you

With every penny I've got

Give them some kind of chance in life
