[Intro]
Bm                    G
 //////                //
   Hey Mr. Gold Man! 
Bm                      G
   Where's my pay? 
Bm                      G
   Hmmm Mr. Gold Man! 
Bm                      G
   Not one more day. 
Bm                    G                              F#
                                                      ////////
   Misterrrrr!          Can't you hear my children cryin’?
[Verse 1]
Bm                    G
  ////                  ////
Came to Pretoria in ’46, 
Bm                  F#
to find myself a job. 
Bm                      G
Met a man with a broken arm, he said: 
C#m            G#7  Bm           F#
Come along with us, get onto the bus.
[Chorus 1]
Bm      G         D   F#    Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! I'm for sale!
Bm      G         D            F#     Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Please don't turn away.
Bm      G         D     F#    Bm            G      F#
 Hey Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear my tummy rumbling? 
[Verse 2]
Bm                          F#
So we continued down the road, 
Bm                    G
till we got to the mine.
Bm                            G
Dirt and dust all around us now.
C#m           G#7   Bm               F#
Hey! I didn't mind, cause I'm on the workline. Oh!
[Chorus 2]
Bm      G         D       F#  Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where's my pay?
Bm     G         D           F#     Bm
Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't wait another day.
Bm     G         D     F#  Bm             G       F#
Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't you see I'm almost dying?
[Verse 3]
Bm                           F#
Then I heard a good friend say: 
Bm                         F#
“There's a happening in Town”
Bm                         G
Come and join the Union, boy. 
C#m                           G#7  Bm                     F#
'Cause today, we ain't going down, we're gonna stand our ground.
[Chorus 3]
Bm      G         D       F#  Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where's my pay?
Bm     G         D           F#      Bm
 Oh Mr. Gold Man! Won't wait another day.
Bm     G         D      F#  Bm               G       F#
Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear the thunder coming?       Ohhhhh!
[Chorus 4]
Bm      G         D      F#    Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Loose these chains.
Bm       G         D           F#   Bm
Time Mr. Gold Man! Change is on its way.
Bm     G         D      F#   Bm               G       F#
 Go Mr. Gold Man! Don't come back, this is my country now
