Intro: AAAAverse 1AEF#mA
Word came like a hammer,Night fell down like a shroud
AEF#m
It's caught me drinking trying to turn back the clock
DA
Through this industrial ghost town
AEF#mADBm
I've known graft and I've voted well,Trying to keep the Lowlands red
ABmDA
But all I gets control in foreign hands,Other colours instead
F#mA
All I want is a roof over my head
ABm
All I want is a steady job
AF#m
All I want to do is say I love you
DA
With every penny I've got
F#mA
And all I think about are Debbie and Jane
ABmD
Give them some kind of chance in life
AF#m
But the long road running out the strip mill gate
DEA
Has got me walking that line

verse 2AEF#mA
We never stretched our dance hall dreams,We got it just about right
AEF#m
There's little escape from a working town and from a working life
DA
I placed my future in the palm of your hand
AEF#mADBm
One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints,There's no investment here in life or in love
ABmDA
And now it's getting too late
F#mA
All I want is a roof over my head
ABm
All I want is a steady job
AF#m
All I want to do is say I love you
DA
With every penny I've got
