Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G          C    G
I'm losing will love.
G                    C      G
My hands are soft as cotton gloves
G                 C     G
Machine has eaten up my job
G       C      G
My meaning, my cause
G                              C       G
Machine with the strength of a hundred men
G                        C   G
Can't feed and clothe my children
G                    C      G
Can't greet a sailor coming in
G                C G
Or know of desperation

G                  C         G
I shovel coal down Spencer's dock
G                  C     G
I took your dear into Wedlock
G                        C      G
And you did bear us a beautiful flock
G                           C      G
River rock the machine down on the dock
G                        C      G
River rock the machine until it stops

Chorus:
C                      G
And low Liffey show me gold
C                   G
Like a heron I will go
   C                          G
Oh roaring Liffey when you're high
C                       G
Like a cormorant I will dive
    D                     C
The gold wind glow I will rise
     G                       C
With gold enough to win back time
     G                       C
With gold enough to win back pride
      G                  C      G
River rock the machine until it dies

Verse 2:
G              C   G
Today dear I'm unemployed
G                  C       G
Before I spoke you read my eyes
G                   C     G
I feared of nothing or no one
G                  C      G
But I feel old and I'm so young
G                  C        G
I miss the graft I miss the boys
G                  C      G
I long for purpose in the void
G              C       G
Time is inward ticking tighter
G                    C        G
I wish my load was a mountain lighter

G                  C         G
I shovel coal down Spencer's dock
G                  C     G
I took your dear into Wedlock
G                        C      G
And you did bear us a beautiful flock
G                           C      G
River rock the machine down on the dock
G                        C      G
River rock the machine until it stops

Chorus:
C                      G
And low Liffey show me gold
C                   G
Like a heron I will go
   C                          G
Oh roaring Liffey when you're high
C                       G
Like a cormorant I will dive
    D                     C
The gold will glow I will rise
     G                       C
With gold enough to win back time
     G                       C
With gold enough to win back pride
      G                  C      G
River rock the machine until it dies

River rock the machine until it stops
