[Verse 1]
Fm
Get up, I'm ready and I'm able, just want to put food on the table
Eb
I don't ask for very much, my rent's gone up and my wages are going
Fm
Down-town, you see them in their suits, they look down, on us and all we do
Eb
But we all know who really pays for the shirt and coat and the big warm house
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bbm Ab Eb
And ooooooh, anyone can see they are not like us
Bbm Ab Eb Fm
And ooooooh, we are not like them
[Verse 2]
Fm
Go on, preach a little more but last year eight factories closed their
Eb
Doors for good, you do the math, you can't pay more than the market will
Fm
Allow me to introduce myself, I live here, I'm not from somewhere else
Eb
And I am not a violent man but if you're looking for trouble then trouble you'll find
[Refrain 1]
Ab Eb Fm
And a hundred years ago tomorrow we were waiting on a boat
Fm Eb
Just protecting our own, looking out for the lives we know
Ab Eb Fm
After all this time you'd think you'd start to see
Fm
That it's either you or me so you better pack and leave
Eb
Cause you know I will die before I go

One hundred years ago tomorrow we were getting on a boat

We were singing hold the fort, hold yourselves up proud and tall

After all this time it still is hard to see that the guns are aimed at me
Fm Eb
And if someone's gonna bleed you can bet who will be the ones to fall
[Verse 3]
