[Am][F][Am][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Call it
new technology

And they show no [G]concern

[Verse 2]
[Am]Work for their prosperity
While the big wheels [F]turn
Now it's too late [Dm]to l[G]earn

[Verse 3]
[C]Don't upset [F]the teacher
Though we know he [C]lied [F]to you
[Dm]Don't upset the preacher
[F]He's gonna close his
[G]eye[F] s [Dm]for you[E]

[Verse 4]
And it's [F]a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a [Am]worker waiting in
the pouring [Em]rain[F]
Putting back [G]the pieces of a
broken [Am]dream[F]
Putting back [G]the pieces
of a broken [Am]dream

[Verse 5]
[Am]Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved [F]on
And the factory's [G]gone

[Verse 6]
[Am]See them sell your history
Where once you [F]were strong
And you used to be[Dm]long[G]

For a working [C]man[F]
[Dm]There was once a lifetime
[F]For a skillful han[G]d yes[F]ter[Dm]day

[Verse 8]
[E]And it's a s[F]hame
That you're [Am]so a[F]fraid

Putting back [G]the pieces of a
broken [Am]dream[F]
Putting back [G]the pieces of a broken [Am]dream
[E][Am]

[Verse 11]
[Am]Tempers fray so easily
In desperate des[F]pair
Is there anyone who [G]cares?

[Am]Just another tragedy
Just a personal af[F]fair
In a room [Dm]somewhere[G]

[Verse 13]
[C]There [G]was [C]once a [G]fu [F]ture
[C]For a wor[F]king man[C][F]
[Dm]There was once a lifetime
[F]For a skillful han[G]d yes[F]ter[Dm]day

Putting back [G]the pieces of a
broken [Am]dream[F]
Putting back [G]the pieces of a broken
[Am]dream (broken dream)[F]
Putting back [G]the pieces of a broken [Am]dream
Of a [F]broken,
[G]of a bro[Am]ken dre[F]am
Putting back [G]the pieces of a broken
[Am]dream (broken dream)[F]
Putting back [G]the pieces of a broken dream
