Intro: C   G   D   G 

     C    
They stuck him in the army 
                           G  
And they told him where to stand 
       D 
What a rigid occupation 
                 G 
For the ordinary man 


          C    
'cause he stood outside the factory gates 
                      G  
With his paper in his hand 
       D 
What a shameful termination 
                G 
Of the ordinary man
