[Verse 1]
Hey, hey-hey, hey [Am]hey
[D]
There'll be [Am]food on the
[Em]table [Am]to n[C]ight
[G]Hey[Am], hey, hey, hey[D]
There'll be [Am]pay in your
pock[Em]et ton[C]ight
[D]My gut

[Verse 2]
[G]is wrenched out it
[Em]is crunched up and broken
A [G]life that is led is [Em]no more
than a token
[C]Who'll strike the flint upon the stone
[D]and tell me why[Em][D]
If [G]I yell out at night there's a [Em]reply
of bruised silence
[G]The screen is no comfort I [Em]can't
speak my sentence
[C]They blew the lights at heaven's
[D]gate and I don't know why
[Em]

[Verse 3]
But if I [Am]work all [C]day on [Am]the
blue sky [D]mine
(There'll be [Am]food on the
[C]table [G]tonight)
Still I [Am]walk up and [C]down on [Am]the
blue sky [D]mine
(There'll be [Am]pay in your pocket
[Em]toni[C]ght)[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]The candy store paupers lie to
[Em]the share holders
[G]They're crossing their fingers
[Em]they pay the truth makers
[C]The balance she[D]et is breaking
up the [Em]sky[D]
So [G]I'm caught at the junction [Em]still
waiting for medicine
[G]The sweat of my brow keeps
on [Em]feeding the engine
Hope [C]the crumbs in my pocket can
[D]keep me for another [Em]night
And if [G]the blue sky mining[F][Am]
company won't [D]come to my rescue
If [F]the sugar refining [Am]com pany
won't [D]save [C]me
[F]Who's gonna [G]save [Em]me?
Who's gonna [G]save [Em]me?
Who's gonna [G]save me?

[Verse 5]
But if [Am]I work all day on the blue
sky [D]mine
(There'll be [Am]food on the
[Em]table [C]ton[G]ight)
And if I [Am]walk up and down
on the blue sky [G]mine
[D](There'll be pay[Am] in your
[C]pocket [G]tonight)

[Verse 6]
And [Am]some have sailed from a distant shore
[D]And the[Am] company takes what
the com[C]pany [G]wants
And [Am]nothing's as [C]pre[Am]cious, as a [D]hole in the [Am]ground[Em]

[F]Who's gonna save

[Verse 7]
[G]me?[Em]
Who's gonna [G]save [Em]me?
I [C]pray that sense and
[D]reason brings us in
Who's gonna [G]save [Em]me?
Who's gonna [G]save me?
[Em]We've got nothing to fear
[C][D]

[Verse 8]
[G]In the end the rain comes [Em]down
[G]In the end the rain comes [Em]down
[G]Was[C]hes clean,
[D]the streets of a blue sky town

[Outro 1]
