[Verse 1]
Good Dm7morning day and Dm6how do you do
I wonder Dbaugwhat will you do for Dm7me?
I should Dm7be on my way, I should Dm6be earning pay,
I should Dbaugbe all the things that I'm Dm7not
[Chorus]
And I've Bbmaj7tried on my Am7own, now there's nGm7othing to keep me at hDmome,
Like my Bbmaj7Brother has Am7too, got to mGm7ove to get out of this vDm7iew,
You see they tell you to F/Gmove around
If you can't fG/Aind work in Aaugyour own town
[Verse 2]
As I Dm7rise from my bed I can Dm6hear the old man
Blaming DbaugHeaven and Mother for Dm7this
Thirty Dm7years with one firm, thirteen Dm6months redundant,
Yes I'd Dbaugsay that's unlucky for sDm7ome
[Chorus]
Now our Bbmaj7tears fall like Am7rain, as my MGm7other walks me to my tDm7rain,
With a Bbmaj7kiss and a wAm7ave - 'Come Home WGm7eekends' that's if I can sDm7ave
I swear I'll F/Gtake it out on the man
Who ever deG/Avised this eAaugconomy plan

Oh, Abmaj7all the hate that I fEbmaj7eel no love could put rF/GightG/A  
[Verse 3]
Good Dm7morning day and hDm6ow do you do
I wonder Dbaugwhat will you do for Dm7me?
I should Dm7be on my way, I should Dm6be earning pay,
I should Dbaugbe all the things that I'm Dm7not
[Chorus]
And I've Bbmaj7tried on my Am7own, now there's nGm7othing to keep me at hDm7ome,
All the Bbmaj7love and the Am7strength has been tGm7aken by this GovernmeDm7nt,
You see they tell you to F/Gmove around -
If you can't G/Afind work in Aaugyour own town.

[Outro]
Dm7Father's in the kitchen, Dm6counting out coins,
DbaugMother's in the bedroom, Dm7looking through pictures of her boys,
Dm7One is in London, Dm6looking for a job,
DbaugThe other's in Whitehall, Dm7looking for those responsible!
