I play the chord positions below, but with a Capo on 3rd fret.
You can choose depending on your singing key.
I'm an ordinary man, nothing special nothing grand
I've had to work for everything I own
Am G FI never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I'd got
F G AmEnough to keep my family and my home
F G
Now they say that times are hard and they've handed me my cards
F EThey say there's not the work to go around
Am G FAmAnd when the whistle blows, the gates will finally close
F GAmTonight they're going to shut this factory down
F G Am F GAmThen they'll tear it d-o-w-n
Am G F
I never missed a day nor went on strike for higher pay
F G AmFor twenty years I served them best I could
Am G FAmNow with a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget
F GAmLoyalty through the bad times and through good
F G CAmThe owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad
FEBut the captains of industry won't let him lose
Am G F AmHe still drives a car and smokes his cigar
And still he takes his family on a cruise,
F G Am F G Amhe'll never l-o-s-e
Well it seems to me such a cruel irony
F G AmHe's richer now than ever he was before
Am G FAmNow my cheque is spent and I can't afford the rent
F GAmThere's one law for the rich, one for the poor
F G C AmEvery day I've tried to salvage some of my pride
To find some work so's I might pay my way
Oh but everywhere I go, the answer's always no
There's no work for anyone here today,
F G Am F G Amno work t-o-d-a-y
And so condemned I stand, just an ordinary man
Like thousands beside me in the queue
Am G FI watch my darling wife trying to make the best of life
F GAnd God knows what the kids are going to do
F G C AmNow that we are faced ... with this human waste
F EA ge---neration cast aside
And as long as I live, I never will forgive
F G AmYou've stripped me of my dignity and pride,
F G AmF G Amyou've stripped me b-a-r-E, you've stripped me b-a-r-E,
F G Amyou've stripped me b-a-r-E.
