Phil Ochs - Automation Song

Редакция на текст

<pre>
 G  B7  Em  Am7  D7  G
Oh I laid down your railroads, every mile of track.
   B7  Em Am7 D7  G  
With the muscles on my arm and the sweat upon my back.
G7 C   G   C   G
And now the trains are rolling, they roll to every sh*re
  C G  A7 D
You tell me that my job is through, there ain't no work no more.
   G  B7  Em Am7  D7  G
Though I laid down your highways all across the land.
   B7 Em  Am7 D7   G
With the ringing of the steel and the power of my hands.
G7 C  G C   G
And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky,
  C G   A7   D
You tell me that my job is through but still I wonder why.

Em  Bm
For the wages were low and the hours were long
  Em  D7
And the labour was all I could bear.
  Em  Bm
Now you've got new machines for to take my place
  Am7  D7
And you tell me it's not mine to share.
   G  B7  Em Am7  D7   G
Though I laid down your factories and laid down your fields,
   B7 Em Am7  D7  G
With my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels.
G7 C G  C   G
And now the smoke is rising, the steel is all a-glow,
  C   G D7  G
I'm walking down a jobless road and where am I to go.

(repeat)

Em Am  D7  G
Tell me, where am I to go.</pre>
