Intro: G C  G  D  G 

N.C.  C               G 
Every day, about this time 
            C                  G 
I'm pushing down to the border line 
           D                 G 
And in the West, the rolling hills 
                   D                        G 
And the false dawn rising from a hard steel mill 


         C                  G 
From the bridge, a strip of sand 
            C                 G 
Between the lake and no-man's land 
           D                G 
Stretching down the harbour wide 
         D                     G 
Into the shadow of the factory side 


         C                  G 
From the bridge, from up on high 
          C              G 
I see the people passing by 
               D                    G 
In through the gates, to the grey beyond 
                 D                        G 
Where they'll be working 'til the work is done
