  When the foreman came, he helped me understand
      A minorAm                 C majorC Bb majorBb
That my destiny was mortar in the Almighty's hand
           A minorAm           FF
Then they shipped my ass and they worked me place to place
C majorC Bb majorBb          FF           C majorC      DmDm
  Then delivered me in the combines as a ward of the state


♫ Chorus:

Mm, come to find me

I'm here today but don't belong

I'm working 'til the debt is gone
G minorGm
The upside of it
DmDm
The upside of it
C majorC      DmDm   C/EC/E
 But in a most familiar way

I'm begging you to understand

I try to be a decent man

The upside of it

White kids say they sympathise
        FF           C majorC  Bb majorBb
But they're afraid to look me in the eyes

Up, up, up, up, up in the sky some place
C majorC Bb majorBb             FF
  I got treasures up in heaven and the state just takes the rest

♫ Verse 3:
C majorC Bb majorBb
  I been working at the sawmill down in Kinleith for some time
C majorC Bb majorBb
  I'm gonna save for my own furniture and kitchen down the line

♫ Bridge:
    G minorGm      FF      Bb majorBb C majorC
In the unrelieved serenity back home
  G minorGm  A minorAm        Bb majorBb
I wonder how they talk of me
   G minorGm    FF         Bb majorBb C majorC
Do I send the card with mountains on?
    G minorGm         C majorC
Or the one with all the riot police?
Bb majorBb             C majorC
I don't open doors for the uniform
G minorGm    A minorAm      Bb majorBb              C majorC    G minorGm
Skulking shadows that break in at the dawn time to haul us away
    A minorAm      Bb majorBb
Do you know how it feels?
  C majorC  G minorGm     A minorAm     Bb majorBb        C majorC
I can recite every libel and terrible thing I get
G minorGm          C majorC
'Cause I built this place

♫ Chorus:
DmDm C/EC/E
 Alrighty
   FF
I'm here until I don't belong
I'm working 'til the debt is gone

The upside of it

The upside of it

And in a most familiar way
