Blood, Sweat And Tears


A minorAm  A minorAm  A minorAm  A minorAm
Lead in strumming strong and setting the mood and pace
A minorAm  A minorAm  A minorAm  A minorAm
Snare joins in and 2 bars later I add the a hum like a machine


Verse 1&2:

A minorAm                     E MajorE
Some time ago in the city run solely on steam
   E MajorE                       A minorAm
The power plant workers would rise and stick to routine
 DmDm                            A minorAm
Breakin' their backs 'til their work shirts were dirty and brown
  E MajorE                        A minorAm (Knock Knock)
As year after year, they'd work for the good of the town

  A minorAm                       E MajorE
As parts would get old, these men would make the repairs
  E MajorE                     A minorAm
Changing out axles and belts with meticulous care
 DmDm                     A minorAm
Working their hands to the bone and slaving away
     E MajorE                          E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE / / /
They'd press on with diligence and as they strained you could hear them say,

Chorus:

       DmDm
"With our blood, sweat, and tears
     A minorAm
And the grinding of gears
      E MajorE                A minorAm
We shall slave to keep our beautiful city alive!

       DmDm
"Yes, with blood, sweat, and tears
      A minorAm
And the passing of years
     E MajorE                    A minorAm
We'll expend ourselves so our fair people may thrive!"


Verse 3&4:

A minorAm                         E MajorE
One afternoon Frederick Worthington clocked into work
  E MajorE                         A minorAm
He went to his station not knowing the danger that lurked
  DmDm                      A minorAm
He pulled on the lever to start up the massive machine
  E MajorE                         A minorAm
But deep in the workings was something he had not foreseen

  A minorAm                     E MajorE
The pistons were pumping as pressure began to accrue
  E MajorE                       A minorAm
And suddenly one of the tanks had to give, and it blew
DmDm                        A minorAm
Frederick was knocked back into an assortment of gears
  E MajorE                       E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE / / /
And there in an instant he came to an end with his GREATEST FEAR!

Chorus:
      DmDm
And with blood, sweat, and tears
     A minorAm
And the grinding of gears
     E MajorE                    A minorAm
This disaster happened in front of our terrified eyes

      DmDm
Yes, with blood, sweat, and tears
     A minorAm
In his premature years
     E MajorE                   A minorAm
Frederick met his unfortunate, wholly untimely demise


Bridge: Kazoo Interlude

DmDm   A minorAm
    Kazoo-didi-doot-doo-dee-doot-doo-dee-doo-doo
E MajorE   A minorAm
    Kazoo-didi-doot-doo-dee-doot-doo-dee-doo-dah
DmDm   A minorAm
    Kazoo-didi-doot-doo-dee-doot-doo-dee-doo-doo
E MajorE   E MajorE
    Kazooo-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doooo


Chorus: Softly

     DmDm
So with blood, sweat, and tears
    A minorAm
We must face what we fear
         E MajorE                   A minorAm
And although it's tragic, and everyone's sad that he's gone

      DmDm
With our blood, sweat, and tears
   A minorAm
We return to our gears
     E MajorE                    E MajorE / / / / / / / /
This city still needs us to work, so we must carry on


Chorus:

/ / /   DmDm
With our blood, sweat, and tears
     A minorAm
And the grinding of gears
      E MajorE                A minorAm
We shall slave to keep our beautiful city alive!

Kazoo-didi-doot-doo-dee-doot-doo-dee-doo-doo

      DmDm
Yes, with blood, sweat, and tears
     A minorAm
And the passing of years
     E MajorE        E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE E MajorE     A minorAm  DmDm
We'll expend ourselves so our fair people may thrive!

E MajorE         A minorAm   E MajorE A minorAm
