_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] The gates will [Am] finally _ close.
_ [F] Tonight they're [G] gonna shut this factory [Am] down.
_ _ _ [C] Then they'll tear [F] it down.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ I never [G] missed a dinner, went [F] on strike for better [Am] pay.
_ [F] For twenty years [G] I served the best [Am] I could.
_ _ _ _ _ With a _ [G] handshake and a check, it [F] seems easy [Am] to forget.
_ _ [F] _ _
Loyalty [G] through the bad times and [Am] the good.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] And the owner says [G] he's sad to see [C] that things have got [Am] so bad.
[F] But the captains of industry won't let [E] him _ lose.
_ _ _ [Am] He still smokes [G] a cigar, _ [F] he drives a [Am] brand new car.
_ _ [F] _
Still he takes [G] his family [Am] on a cruise.
_ _ _ [G] [C] He'll never [F]
lose.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It seems [G] to me a [F]
cruel [Am] irony.
_ _ _ [F] He's richer [G] now than ever he was [Am] before.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now my check [G] is spent, _ [F] I can't [Am] afford the rent.
_ [F] _ _
One [G] law for the rich, one [Am] law for the poor.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
Every day [G] I've tried to [C] salvage some of my [Am] pride.
_ [F] To find some works as I might pay [E] my _ way.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
Everywhere [G] I go, [F] the answer's [Am] always no.
_ [F] _ _
No work [G] for anyone here [Am] today.
[Em] _ _ _ No work [F] _
today.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] No work [F] _ _
[G] today.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ And so can't [G] understand _ just [F] an ordinary _ [Am] man.
_ [C] Like [F]
thousands _ [G] beside me in [Am] the queue.
_ _ _ _ _ I watched me [G] darling wife [F] trying to make [Am] the best of life.
_ [F] _
God knows [G] what the kids are going [Am] to do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
Now [G] we're faced _ [C] with this [Am] human way.
_ [F] A _ _ generation _ cast [Bm] aside.
_ [Am] _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] For as long [G] as I live, [F] I never [Am] will forgive.
_ [F] You stripped me [G] of dignity and [Am] pride.
_ [G] _ You [C] stripped me [F] _ _
[G] bare.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] You stripped [F] me _ _
_ [G] _ bare.
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] No [F] work today.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ No [F] work today.
