Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
I'm not [D]afraid to bend [Bm]my back
[D]I'm not afraid of [Bm]dirt
But how [D]I fear the things I do
For lack of honest work
My fam[Bm]ily is lost to me
[D]They could not bear [Bm]the hurt
To see [D]the state their boy is in
[Bm]For lack of honest work

[Verse 2]
[Bm]I hold no [D]blame for anyone
'Twas I who did [Bm]arrange
[Em]To pay m[D]y union dues s[G]o i'd
[D]Not have to learn or change
[Bm]And when I[G] was r[D]e placed, 'twas i
Who started [Bm]down the hill
And drank away my sav[G]ings 'til
[D]I couldn't stop mys[Bm]elf
[D]The prophets of a

[Verse 3]
brave new world
Captains of in[Bm]dustry
[D]Have visions grand and great

[Verse 4]
[Bm]desi[G]gns
[D]But none [Bm]have room for me
They see a world [D]where everyone
Is rich and smart [Bm]and young
[A]But if [Bm]I live to see such [G]things
[A]Too late [Bm]for me they come

[Verse 5]
[Bm]I know I'm not the only one
To fall [D]beneath [Bm]the wheel
Such [D]company can not assuage
The loneliness I feel
[Bm]So many are re[D]signed to be
Soci[Bm]ety's debris
But I will be [G]remembered for
[D]The life [Bm]life took from me
[D]For I'm not afraid to

[Verse 6]
[Bm]bend my back
[D]I'm not afraid of [Bm]dirt
[Bm]But how I [D]fear the things I do
[Bm]For lack of [D]honest w[Bm]ork
