Tom: Dm
Dm F Dm
A process man am I and I'm telling you no lie.
Dm F Dm C
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky,
Dm C F Dm
There's thunder all around me and a poison in the air.
Dm F Dm C Dm
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell, and dust all in me hair.
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm
And it's go, boys go,
F Dm
they'll time your every breath.
F Dm
And every day you're in this place,
F C Dm
you're two days nearer death,
Dm
but you go.
[Verse 2]
Dm F Dm
I've worked among the spinners and breathed in the oily smoke.
Dm F Dm C
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it nigh-on makes you choke.
Dm C F C
I've stood knee-deep in cyanide, been sick with a caustic burn.
Dm F Dm C Dm
'been working rough and 'seen enough to make your stomach turn.
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm
And it's go, boys go,
F Dm
they'll time your every breath.
F Dm
And every day you're in this place,
F C Dm
you're two days nearer death,
Dm
but you go.
[Verse 3]
Dm F Dm
There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore.
Dm F Dm C
The young lads like their money, and they all come back for more.
Dm C F C
but soon you're knocking on, and you look older than you should.
Dm F Dm C Dm
For every bob made on this job you pay with flesh and blood.
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm
And it's go, boys go,
F Dm
they'll time your every breath.
F Dm
And every day you're in this place,
F C Dm
you're two days nearer death,
Dm
but you go.
[Outro]
Dm C Dm
And it's go, boys go,
F Dm
they'll time your every breath.
F Dm
And every day you're in this place,
F C Dm
you're two days nearer death,
Dm
but you go.
