Factory Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[D]Hurrying across the
[Em]bridge be[A]fore the siren [D]calls.
This morning she's chasing her [Em]shadow,
[A]along the factory [D]wall.
And [G]through the gate,
where she will wait in [D]line.
[G]To cross the yard,
to clock her card in time.
[D]

[Verse 2]
And under her scar[E]f, her [G]hair set in [D]curls,
The day be[E]gins for the [G]fact[Em] ory girl[D].
For a while the girls try [Em]to talk,
but their [A]voices soon [Am]drown [A]in the [D]din.
Their eyes watch their hands do the [Em]work,
and a [A]new day's rhythm begin[D]s.

[Verse 3]
No [G]change today, like yesterday, [D]the same
But din[G]ner soon, then afternoon,
then [D]home.
Then hurrying [E]home in [G]the fading [D]light,
The factory [E]girl is [Em]going [G]out
[Em]to night.
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Her momma says "Don't be late,
you've got to [G]get up [D]again [G]before eight".
[Em]"Yes", she cries,
but there's joy in her eyes,
As she [A]runs down the path
through [D]the gate.
And out on the rainy [Em]streets
[A]hoping that the night will last.
[D]

[Verse 5]
No whispering palms on the [Em]beach,
for her,
Just the [A]swish of the cars going [D]past.
And [G]she believes no one could
feel [D]the same,
[G]Touching and whispering in the [D]rain.

[Verse 6]
And [D]the rain takes [E]away
her [G]beautiful [D]curls.
The night is soon [E]gone [Em]for t[G]he fact
[Em]ory [D]girl.[Am][G]
[Em][A][D]
And hurrying across the [Em]bridge
be[A]fore the siren [D]calls.
This morning she's skipping the [Em]puddles,
all [A]along the factory [D]wall.

[Verse 7]
A [G]starling sings, he shakes his wings,
she [D]smiles.
Then [G]at the gate, she hesitates,
[D]for a while.
Then from inside [E]the gates,
[G]the sirens [D]roar.
And across [E]the yard runs the factory [A]girl.[G][D]
