[Verse]
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
Leaving my family behind me
Bm Em
Not knowing what lay ahead
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
Waving goodbye, as I left them in tears
Bm C
Remembering all we'd said
C D/C
I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers
Bm7 C
I asked Him for guidance and strength
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
But the simple beliefs of a simple man
Bm D
Lay in His hands, and on my head, my head
[Interlude]

[Verse]
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
I gave everything that they wanted
Bm Em
But still they wanted more
G D/F#
We sweat and we toiled
Cmaj7/E D7
Good men lost their lives
Bm C
Don't think they knew what for
C
I sold them my heart
D/C
I sold them my soul
Bm7 C
I gave everything I had
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
Ah but they couldn't break my spirit
Bm D
My dignity fought back
Cadd9 Dadd9 Cadd9 Dadd9
Fightback
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
(Continue guitar riff above)
E5 D/E A/E
We worked in gangs for all we were worth
E5 A/E G/E
The young boys pulling the wagons
E5 D/E A/E
We were digging the tunnels, shifting the earth
E5 A/E G/E
It was then that it happened
A5 G/A A
No-one knew how the cracks appeared
G/A A G/A A D/A
But as it fell they all disappeared
G/A D/A A
Stone fell like rain
[Chorus]
E A/E G/E A/E
Can you hear me

Can you see
G6 A/G G6 A/G
Don't you hear me
G6/A A G6/A A
Can you breathe

[Verse]
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
The smoke cleared, the dust it settled
Bm Em
No one knew how many had died
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
All around there were broken men
Bm C
They'd said it was safe, and they'd lied
C D/C
You could hear the cries, you could smell the fear
Bm7 C
But good fortune that day was mine
G D/F# Cmaj7/E D7
And it occurred to me that the heart of a good man
Bm D
It seems is hard to find
[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
D G
We worked, how we worked like
C D C G
The devil for our pay
D G
Through the wind, through the snow
C D C G
And through the rain
D G C D C G
Blasting and cutting through Gods country like a knife
D G C D C
Sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life
G D G
Ah but I can hear my children's cry
C D C
I can see the tears in their eyes
G D G
Memories of those I've left behind
C D C
Still ringing in my ears
G D G
Will I ever go back again
C D6
Will I ever see her face again
C/D Bm/D
I'll always remember that night
C/D G/D Dsus2 Asus4 A7
As they waved goodbye to their fathers
[Interlude]
G/B Bm
We came from the North
D A/C#
And we came from the South
G/B F#m/A
With picks and with spades
G
And a new kind of order
A/G G Em7
Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
C#m7 A7/E D G C D G C
They'll never see the likes of us again
[Post-Chorus]
D
Driving the last spike
G C D G C
Lifting and laying the track
D
With blistering hands
G C D C
And the sun burning your back
G D G
Oh but I can hear my children's cry
C D C
I can see the tears in their eyes
G D G
Ah memories of those I've left behind
C D6
Still ringing in my ears
C/D Bm/D
Well I'll always remember that night
C/D G/D Dsus2 Asus4 A7
As they waved goodbye to their fathers
G/B Bm D A/C#
We followed the rail, we slept under the stars
G/B F#m/A G
Digging in darkness and living with danger
A/G G Em7
Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
C#m7 A7/E D
They'll never see the likes of us again
