[Intro]
Dm    F   Dm    
Hey, hey, hey, hey
G           Dm                  Am            F   C
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
Dm F Dm 
Hey, hey, hey
G                Dm               Am         F    C                        
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)

[Verse 1]
C                                  Am
My gut is wrenched out, it is crunched up and broken
C                                        Am
My life that is lived is no more than a token
F G Am Bm
Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why
C                                Am
If I yell out at night, there's a reply of blue silence
C                                   Am
The screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence
F                                  G                                  Am
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why

[Chorus]
Am Dm F Dm G
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
G Dm Am F C
There'll be food on the table tonight
C Dm F Dm G
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
G Dm Am F G
There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight

[Verse 2]
C                                   Am
The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
C                                     Am
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
F G Am Bm
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
C                                     Am
So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine
C                                      Am
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
F                                    G                                   Am
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night

[Bridge]
Am A# Dm G
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
G A# Dm G
If the sugar refining company won't save me
F A# C
Who's gonna save me
Am C
Who's gonna save me
Am C
Who's gonna save me

[Chorus]
C Dm F Dm G
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
G Dm Am F C
There'll be food on the table tonight
C Dm F Dm G
And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
G Dm Am F C
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
C Dm F Dm G
And some have sailed from a distant shore
G Dm Am F C
And the company takes what the company wants
Dm F Dm G Dm Am F G
And nothing's as precious as the hole in the ground

[Outro]
F             Bb          C
Who's gonna save me
Am C Am
Who's gonna save me
F G
I pray that sense and reason
G C
Who's gonna save me
Am C
Who's gonna save me
Am F G
We got nothing to fear
C Am
In the end the rain comes down
C Am
In the end the rain comes down
F G C
Washes clean the streets of the blue sky town
