[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][G][D]
[A][D][Asus4][A]
[D][A][Asus4]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Fourteen hours of working shifts
In [A]early morning Mersey mists
[Asus4]Too tired [G]to taste the cornflakes
[Asus4]on your t[A]ongue
As [D]morning hits the docks
You dream of all [A]the ships
there must have been
I river [Asus4]full of everything
[A]that it's [G]not
And if your [Bm]life's not meant
to feel [E]like [G]this
Maybe it's [Bm]time for someone to [E]resist
The [D]riverbank could tell you tales
Of [A]working lives, ship with sails
[Asus4]Jobs were passed from fath
[G]ers to their [A]sons
[D]Sometimes it comes down to you
The [A]many to protect the few
Un[Asus4]less you cross the
line your jobs [A]are gone[G]
If it takes a thou[Bm]sand days
we'll never [E]stop[G]
Tel it a [Bm]thousand ways
you'll still [E]be [A]wrong
Not a word in the [C#m]morn ing p[G]aper

[Verse 2]
Feels like we've been out [Bm]for [A]ages
Maybe unions and play[C#m]ers
won't save [G]us
But there's nothing on [Bm]earth
can break [E]us[Em]
[Esus4]The stren[D]gth[Asus4] to load[D]
a thousand ships
But [A]willing hands can turn to fist[D]s
On [Asus4]picket lines emotions fe[Em]elings overfl[A]ow
A [D]de cent job for decent pay
To fight if that's [A]the only way
The [Asus4]union says wel[G]l tough
your on your [A]own[G]
If it takes a thou[Bm]sand days
we'll never [E]stop[G]
Tell it a [Bm]thousand ways
you'll still [E]be [A]wrong
Not a word in the [C#m]morn ing p[G]apers
Feels like we've been out [Bm]for ages
[A]The unions and pray[C#m]ers
won't save [G]us
There's nothing on [Bm]earth can break us
