“Father was killed by the Pinkerton men.”
Ye prating politicians, who boast protection creed,
Go to Homestead and stop the orphans’ cry.
Protection for the rich man ye pander to his greed,
His workmen they are cattle and may die.
The freedom of the city in Scotland far away
Is presented to the millionaire suave,
But here in Free America with protection in full sway
His workmen get the freedom of the grave.

All the times that I cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it

the fa-tal flaws of e-very-one else.

4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6
I was just a skinny lad
4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6
Never knew no good from bad,
4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -6 6 -5 6
But I knew life before I left my nursery,
-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -6
Left alone with big fat Fanny,
4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6’ -6’
She was such a naughty nanny!
-6’ -6’ -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6 -6’ -5 -5
Hey big woman you made a bad boy out of me
4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6
I’ve been singing with my band
4 4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6
Across the water, across the land,
-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -6 6 -5 6
I seen every blue eyed floozy on the way,
-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6

-6 -6 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6’
Went kind of smooth after a while.

-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -6 6 -5 6
Ain’t no beauty queens in this locality.
-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -6
Oh, but I still get my pleasure
-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6’ -6’
Still got my greatest treasure.
-6’ -6’ -6 -6 -6 -5 6 6 6 -6’ -5 -5 -5

-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
You got a fast car
-5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
I want a ticket to anywhere
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
Maybe we make a deal
-5 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
Maybe together we can get somewhere
-6 6 7 -6 6 -5
Anyplace is better
-5 6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
-6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Maybe we’ll make something
-6 7 7 -6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
Me, myself I got nothing to prove
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
You got a fast car
-5 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5 -5 -5
I got a plan to get us out of here
-5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
I been working at the convenience store
-5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
Managed to save just a little bit of money
-6 -6 -6 -6 -5 -5
Won’t have to drive too far
4 -5 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5 -5
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
You and I can both get jobs
-5 -6 -6 7 -6 -6 7 -6 -6 6 5
And finally see what it means to be living
4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4
You see my old man’s got a problem
4 -5 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
He live with the bottle that’s the way it is
-5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -5 -4 -4 4
He says his body’s too old for working
4 4 4 -5 -5 6 -6 -5 5
His body’s too young to look like his
-5 -6 -6 -6 -6 -5 6 -5
My mama went off and left him
-5 -5 6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5 -5
She wanted more from life than he could give
-6 -6 -6 7 7 -6 6 -5 -5
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
-5 -5 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5
So I quit school and that’s what I did
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
You got a fast car
4 4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
-4 -4 -4 -5 -4 -4 -4 4
We gotta make a decision
4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
Leave tonight or live and die this way
-6 -6 7 -6 6 6 -5 -5
So remember we were driving,
-5 -5 5 -5 -5
driving in your car
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5

And your arm felt nice wrapped ‘round my shoulder
-5 7 -8 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -6

You still ain’t got a job
-5 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
I work in a market as a checkout girl
-6 6 7 -6 6 -5
I know things will get better
-5 6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
-6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
We’ll move out of the shelter
4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

Fascination

And it might have end-ed
7 -7 -6 -7 -6
Right then, at the start
-4 5 -5 -6 -8
Just a pass-ing glance
-4 5 -5 7 -7
Just a brief ro-mance
-4 5 -5 6 7
And I might have gone
-7 -6 6 5 4 4 -3
On my way emp-ty heart-ed
4 -4 5 6 7 -7 7 -7
It was fas-cin-a-tion I know
4 5 6 6 7
See-ing you a-lone
-7 7 -7 -6 -7 -6
With the moon-light a-bove
-4 5 -5 -6 -9
Then I touch your hand
8 -8 -7 -6 -4 4 -3
And next mo-ment I kiss you
-4 5 -5 -4 -6 -7 7
Fas-cin-a-tion turned to love
It was fascination
I know
Seeing you alone
With the moonlight above
Then I touch your hand
And next moment
I kiss you
Fascination turned – to – love

Toils of the road will then seem as nothing,

When He comes from His home in the sky,
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
