Am 
Call it new technology 
                    F 
And they use it to burn 
                     G 
And they show no concern 
Am 
Work for their prosperity 
                      F 
While the big wheels turn 
                       G 
Now it's too late to learn 
 
C                    F 
Don't upset the teacher 
                   C       F 
Though we know he lied to you 
Dm                    F 
Don't upset the preacher 
                G  F      Em 
Gonna close his eyes for you 
             Am 
And it's a shame 
                 Em 
That you're so afraid 
        Am 
Just a worker waiting 
                Em    F 
In the pouring rain 
 
                   G 
Putting back the pieces 
             Am     F 
Of a broken dream 
                   G 
Putting back the pieces 
             Am 
Of a broken dream 
 
Am 
Father worked in industry 
                       F 
Now the work has moved on 
                    G 
And the factory's gone 
Am 
See them sell your history 
                       F 
Where once you were strong 
                   G 
And you used to belong 
 
C                   F 
There was once a future 
               C  F 
For a working man 
Dm                    F 
There was once a lifetime 
               G   F 
For a skilful hand 
       Em 
Yesterday 
 
             Am 
And it's a shame

That you're so afraid 
        Am 
Just a worker waiting 
                Em    F 
In the pouring rain

Am 
Tempers fray so easily 
                 F 
In desperate despair 
                      G 
Is there anyone who cares 
Am 
Just another tragedy 
                   F 
Just a personal affair 
                G 
In a room somewhere 
 
C                   F 
There was once a future 
               C   F 
For a working man 
Dm                    F 
There was once a lifetime
