C                              F       C
Early in the morning factory whistle blows,
                            G
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes,
C                                      F       C
Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light,
                       G                 F       C
It's the working, the working, just the working life

Through the mansions of fear,
             F           C
through the mansions of pain,
I see my daddy walking through
              G
them factory gates in the rain,
 C                                  F         C
Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life,
                  G                 F      C
The working, the working, just the working life.

                          F       C
End of the day, factory whistle cries,
                                   G
Men walk through these gates with death
in their eyes.
C
And you just better believe, boy,
                      F      C
somebody's gonna get hurt tonight,
                       G
It's the working, the working,
          F       C
just the working life.
                              G
'Cause it's the working, the working,
          F       C
just the working life.
