verse 1
A E F#m A
Word came like a hammer,Night fell down like a shroud
A E F#m
It's caught me drinking trying to turn back the clock
D A
Through this industrial ghost town
A E F#m A D Bm
I've known graft and I've voted well,Trying to keep the Lowlands red
A Bm D A
But all I gets control in foreign hands,Other colours instead
F#m A
All I want is a roof over my head
A Bm
All I want is a steady job
A F#m
All I want to do is say I love you
D A
With every penny I've got
F#m A
And all I think about are Debbie and Jane
A Bm D
Give them some kind of chance in life
A F#m
But the long road running out the strip mill gate
D E A
Has got me walking that line

verse 2
A E F#m A
We never stretched our dance hall dreams,We got it just about right
A E F#m
There's little escape from a working town and from a working life
D A
I placed my future in the palm of your hand
A E F#m A D Bm
One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints,There's no investment here in life or in love
A Bm D A
And now it's getting too late
F#m A
All I want is a roof over my head
A Bm
All I want is a steady job
A F#m
All I want to do is say I love you
