Am G F
Am
I'm an ordinary man, nothing special nothing grand
F G Am
I've had to work for everything I own
Am G F
Am
I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I'd got
F G Am
Enough to keep my family and my home
F G
C Am
Now they say that times are hard and they've handed me my cards
F E
They say there's not the work to go around
Am G F
Am
And when the whistle blows, the gates will finally close
F G
Am
Tonight they're going to shut this factory down
F G Am F G
Am
Then they'll tear it d-o-w-n
Am G F
Am
I never missed a day nor went on strike for higher pay
F G Am
For twenty years I served them best I could
Am G F
Am
Now with a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget
F G
Am
Loyalty through the bad times and through good
F G C
Am
The owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad
F
E
But the captains of industry won't let him lose
Am G F Am
He still drives a car and smokes his cigar
F G Am
And still he takes his family on a cruise,
F G Am F G Am
he'll never l-o-s-e
Am G F Am
Well it seems to me such a cruel irony
F G Am
He's richer now than ever he was before
Am G F
Am
Now my cheque is spent and I can't afford the rent
F G
Am
There's one law for the rich, one for the poor
F G C Am
Every day I've tried to salvage some of my pride
F
E
To find some work so's I might pay my way
Am G F
Am
Oh but everywhere I go, the answer's always no
F G Am
There's no work for anyone here today,
F G Am F G Am
no work t-o-d-a-y
Am G F
Am
And so condemned I stand, just an ordinary man
F G Am
Like thousands beside me in the queue
Am G F
Am
I watch my darling wife trying to make the best of life
F G
Am
And God knows what the kids are going to do
F G C Am
Now that we are faced ... with this human waste
F E
A ge---neration cast aside
Am G F Am
And as long as I live, I never will forgive
F G Am
You've stripped me of my dignity and pride,
F G Am
F G Am
you've stripped me b-a-r-e, you've stripped me b-a-r-e,
F G Am
you've stripped me b-a-r-e.
