G                    C      G
It's awful hard to find a job
                F   C G
(comin apart at every nail)
                                C          G
On one side the government, the other the mob
                F   C  G
(comin apart at every nail)
          C          G
Hey, hey ain't that right
                F   C  G
(comin apart at every nail)
                            C         G
The workin' man's in for a hell of a fight
                F   C  G
(comin apart at every nail)

Chorus:
C        G       C                  G
Oh this country sure looks good to me
C          G          F              C
But these fences are comin' apart at every nail

Way up on the old dew line
(Comin' apart at every nail)
Some of the boys were feeling fine
(Comin' apart at every nail)
A big light flashed across the sky
(Comin' apart at every nail)
But something else went slipping by
(Comin' apart at every nail)
Meanwhile at the Pentagon
(Comin' apart at every nail)
The brass was a wondering what went wrong
(Comin' apart at every nail)

Chorus:
Oh, this country sure looks good to me
But these fences are coming apart at every nail

Hey hey, ain't that right?
(Comin' apart at every nail)
Hey hey, ain't that right?
(Comin' apart at every nail)
Hey, ain't that right?
(Comin' apart at every nail)
The working man's in for a hell of a fight
(Comin' apart at every nail)

Chorus:
Oh, this country sure looks good to me
But these fences are coming apart at every nail
