Intro 1
(A minor) (G major) (F major) (G major) (F major) (G major) (F major)
Verse 1
(D minor) A
(C major) Foundryman foundryman and rigger
I serve my craft with skill and pride
The (A minor) furnaces barked (F major) at the sun
The (G major) well has sparked the night
(A minor) Mer (G major) chant (C major) men and frigates
We moulded ribs and shaped the keels
We (A minor) forged a nation's fleet (F major) s
From white -hot (G major) rivers of tungsten steel
(G sharpaug) The (E major) (F major) shipyard's lying idle now
(G major) And (A minor) rust flakes off the cranes (C major)
Seagulls (D minor) echo through (C major) empty docks
But a (G major) silent power remain (G sharpaug) s
(E major) A (F major) cold north wind tugs at my coat
(G major) As (A minor) I walk these oily sand (C major) s
There's (D minor) a life upon (C major)
a punch (G major) card clock (C major)
And (Fsus2) dust upon (F major) my hands (Fsus2) (D minor)
My (C major) brother played the ponies,
breaker by his trade,
Sailed (A minor) for Cairo in (F major) forty -one,
the (G major) Third Light Horse Brigade. (A minor) (G major)
(C major) Rode the winds of fortune,
cast his life in a two -up game.
I (A minor) carry his coins, they were (F major) in his hat
From To (G major) bruk to El Alamein (G sharpaug)
(Eaug) There's (F major) dust upon his photograph
(G major) A (A minor) young face bold and tan (C major)
He (D minor) told me always (C major) judge the odds
That (G major) sacrifice demands
(G sharpaug) His (E major) (F major) bones lie out at Sandgate,
(G major) where the (A minor) waste creeks meet the sea
(C major) There's (D minor) rusted cars (C major) and (G major) salvage yards
(C major) where (F major) Brummies once ran free
(D minor) (F major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor) (G major)
(F major) I'm (G major) (F major) (E minor) (A minor) (G major) (D minor) (A minor) (G major)
(F major) (G major) (F major) (E minor) (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
(F major)
(G major) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (D minor) (C major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (Fsus2)
(D minor) The (C major) Past is another country,
the maps are torn and frayed
Steel (A minor) is cast for Wall (F major) Street now,
and (G major) ships are foreign made
(A minor) Boys (G major) (C major) grow lean and restless,
see the (F major) anger in their (C major) eyes
I (A minor) watch from my veranda, (F major)
see the (G major) gulf grow deep and wide
(G sharpaug) Politi (Eaug) cians (F major) crow with promises,
(G major) in a (A minor) year it's blood from stone (C major)
This (D minor) dusty town grows (C major) sad and weary,
(G major) still I call it home
(G sharpaug) There's (Eaug) (F major) an old
man combing memories
(G major) and (A minor) shells upon a (C major) beach
In (D minor) his shad (C major) ow walk (G major) s a dreamer
(C major) just (F major) beyond his reach
You
