  [D]  [C/D]    [D]  

  

  [D]Now my [A/D]grandfather was a [D]sailor, he [G/D]blew in off the [A/D]water

  [D]My father was a [A/D]farmer and I[G/D], his only dau[A/D]ghter,

  [D]took up with a n[A/D]o-good millworking ma[G/D]n from Massachu[A/D]setts

  who [D]dies from too much [A/D]whiskey and [G/D]leaves me these three [A/D]faces to f[D]eed

  [D]  [Csus2]      [G6/B]     [A7sus4]       

  

  [A/D]Mill-work ain't ea[D]sy; [G/D]mill-work ain't [A/D]hard

  [D]Mill-work, it ain't [A/D]nothing but an [G/D]awful boring [A/D]job

  I'm [D]waiting for a [A/D]day dream to [G/D]take me through the [A/D]morning

  and [D]put me in my c[A/D]offee break where [G/D]I can have a [A/D]sandwich and re[D]member

  

  Then it's [C(addD)]me and my machine for the [G6/B]rest of the morning

  for the [Gm/Bb]rest of the afternoon [A7sus4]      

  and the rest of my l[D]ife        [C/D]    [D]  [C/D]   

  

  Now my mind begins to wander to the days back on the farm

  I can see my father smiling at me, swingin' on his arm

  I can hear my grand-dad's stories of the storms out on Lake Erie

  where vessels and cargos and fortunes and sailor's lives were lost

  

  Yes, but it's my life has been wasted, and I have been the fool

  to let this manufacture use my body for a tool.

  I can ride home in the evening, staring at my hands

  swearing by my sorrow that a young girl ought to stand a better chance

  

  So [C(addD)]may I work the mills just as [G6/B]long as I am able

  and [Gm/Bb]never meet the man whose [A7sus4]name is on the label[D]

  It be [C(addD)]me and my machine for the [G6/B]rest of the morning

  for the [Gm/Bb]rest of the afternoon [A7sus4]    

  and the rest of my l[D]ife        [C/D]    [D]  [C/D]
