(G major) (F major) (E minor) (E flat major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 1
Rust (G major) on your fingers,
you got trouble at your feet.
Keep the home fires burning,
but look out for the heat
'cause there's a man (C major) at the window
who knows just what you think,
And there's a wa (G major) ter boy behind
you who won't give you a drink

Verse 2
Well it's a (D major) hard, hard time,
no easy road in sight,
It takes a (G major) great big (F major) man (C major) to
win a (E flat major) great big (D major) fight.
(G major)
Verse 3
When it comes to dying,
no matter what you tell,
They'll let you into a heaven 'cause
you lived your life in hell.
Well they've got no (C major) way to reward
you but to let those breezes blow,
And you've got (G major) nothing left to do
but to let your anger show.
Verse 4
'Cause it's a hard, (D major) hard time,
no easy road in sight,
It takes a great (G major) (F major) big (C major) man (Edim) to
win a great (E flat major) big (D major) fight.
(G major)
Verse 5
(C major)
Think about your baby, (G major)
(C major) think about your wife, (G major)
Think (C major) about your banker (G major) who's
trying (A major) to take your life. (D major) (C major)
Think about this planet (G major) that's
rolling through the night.
Oh (A major) can you turn your back on
such a (D major) great big fight?
Verse 6
(G major)
You got the muscle, big man,
you got the power,
But you're getting weaker
with each passing hour.
Just like a flame (C major) in the rain,
like a light in the night,
Well if it's (G major) you that must stay, (D major)
well then it's (G major) you that must fight!
Verse 7
(D major) 'Cause it's a hard, hard time,
your future's not bright,
It takes a great (G major) big (F major) (C major) man
to (Edim) win a (E flat major) great big (D major)
(G major) Great big (F major) (E minor) man to (C major) win
(Edim) a (E flat major) great big (D major) (G major)
fight.
