Automation Song
GB7EmAm7D7
Oh I laid down your railroads, every mile of track
B7EmAm7D7
With the muscles on my arm and the sweat upon my back
G7CGC
And now the trains are rolling, they roll to every shor
CGA7
You tell me that my job is through, there ain't no work no more
GB7Em Am7D7
Though I laid down your highways all across the land
B7EmAm7D7
With the ringing of the steel and the power of my hands
G7CGC
And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky
CGA7
You tell me that my job is through but still I wonder why
EmB
For the wages were low and the hours were lon
EmD
And the labour was all I could bear
EmB
Now you've got new machines for to take my plac
Am7D
And you tell me it's not mine to share
GB7EmAm7D7
Though I laid down your factories and laid down your fields
B7EmAm7D7
With my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels
G7CGC
And now the smoke is rising, the steel is all a-glow
CGD7
I'm walking down a jobless road and where am I to go
(repeat
EmAmD7
Tell me, where am I to go.
