Verse 1
(D major) Fourteen hours of working shifts
In (A major) early morning Mersey mists
Too tired (Asus4) to taste (G major) the cornflakes
(Asus4) on your tongue (A major)
As (D major) morning hits the docks
You dream of all the ships (A major)
there must have been
I river full (Asus4) of everything
(A major) that it's not (G major)
And if your life's (B minor) not meant
to feel (E major) like this (G major)
Maybe it's time (B minor) for someone to (E major) resist
The (D major) riverbank could tell you tales
Of (A major) working lives, ship with sails
(Asus4) Jobs were passed from fath
(G major) ers to their son (A major) s
Sometimes (D major) it comes down to you
The (A major) many to protect the few
Un (Asus4) less you cross the
line your jobs are gone (A major) (G major)
If it takes a thou (B minor) sand days
we'll never (E major) stop (G major)
Tel it a thou (B minor) sand ways
you'll still (E major) be wrong (A major)
Not a word in the morn (C sharp minor) ing paper (G major)

Verse 2
Feels like we've been out (B minor) for ages (A major)
Maybe unions and play (C sharp minor) ers
won't save us (G major)
But there's nothing on earth (B minor)
can break us (E major) (E minor)
The (Esus4) (D major) (Asus4) strength (D major) to load
a thousand ships
But (A major) willing hands can turn to fist (D major) s
On (Asus4) picket lines emotions (E minor) feelings over (A major) flow
A (D major) de cent job for decent pay
To fight if that's (A major) the only way
The (Asus4) union says (G major) well tough
your on your own (A major) (G major)
If it takes a thou (B minor) sand days
we'll never (E major) stop (G major)
Tell it a thou (B minor) sand ways
you'll still (E major) be wrong (A major)
Not a word in the morn (C sharp minor) ing papers (G major)
Feels like we've been out (B minor) for ages
The (A major) unions and pray (C sharp minor) ers
won't save us (G major)
There's nothing on earth (B minor) can break us
