Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
|F#m |E |D |A  Amaj7 |

Verse 1:
             F#m
When all the work is done
F#m
The work is done
                           E
A place for everything til everything is in its place
           D
And every setting sun
D
When the work was done
       A                    Amaj7
Was a day that didn't go to waste
             F#m
When all the work is done
F#m
It will be done
                         E
Producing everything for everything to be replaced
        D
And in dirty towns we will settle down
     A                    Amaj7
Manufacture for the human race
Pre-Chorus:
      D                                       A             Amaj7
The greatest story that was ever told in the lines of history
          D
Was the grand designs of other men
           A                    Amaj7
And they built those walls for you and me

Chorus 1:
    D                            E
So don't start thinking we can start again
F#m                     E
 Start a riot in the streets my friend
     D                        E
Or they'll start pulling us apart again
      F#m             E
Cause idle hands make idle men
 D                              E
Don't start thinking with your heart again
      F#m             E
Cause idle hands make idle men

Verse 2:
         F#m
When the work is done, the work is done
                       E
We'll be bionic and beyond the circuits of our minds
           D
We'll get nothing done under electric sun
           A                      Amaj7
Leave the weight of labour far behind

Pre-Chorus:
            D
We're the greatest story that was ever told
        A                      Amaj7
But we don't know where we're from
         D
And the walls became but a memory
        A                 Amaj7
Of the days when all the work begun

Chorus:
    D                            E
So don't start thinking we can start again
F#m                     E
 Start a riot in the streets my friend
     D                        E
Or they'll start pulling us apart again
      F#m             E
Cause idle hands make idle men
   D                 F#m              E
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done
   D                 F#m              E
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done

Bridge:
A   F#m                   E    D
    Everybody's counting hours
A   F#m                   E    D
    Everybody's counting hours
         A       E       D
Til the day the work is done
         A       E       D
Til the day the work is done

Chorus:
    D                            E
So don't start thinking we can start again
F#m                     E
 Start a riot in the streets my friend
     D                        E
Or they'll start pulling us apart again
      F#m             E
Cause idle hands make idle men
    D                            E
So don't start thinking we can start again
F#m                     E
 Start a riot in the streets my friend
     D                        E
Or they'll start pulling us apart again
      F#m             E
Cause idle hands make idle men
   D                 F#m              E
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done
   D                 F#m              E
Rejoice the day, the day the work is done

Outro:
A   F#m                   E    D
    Everybody's counting hours
A   F#m                   E    D
    Everybody's counting hours
