Intro
(w/ Opening Riff)
Em Dsus2 Em G Em Dsus2 G1 (Chorus Chord Pattern)
Hey hey hey hey, There'll be food on the table tonight
(Continue Chorus Pattern)
Hey hey hey hey, There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
Verse 1:
D Bm
My gut is wrenched out and is crunched up and broken
D Bm
My life that is lived is no more than a token
G2 A
Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why
D Bm
If I yell out at night, theres a reply of blue silence
D Bm
The screen is no comfort, I cant speak my sentence
G2 A
They blew the lights at heavens gate and I dont know why
Chorus :
Em Dsus2 Em G1
And if I work all day in the blue sky mine
Em Dsus2 Em G1
There'll be food on the table tonight
Em Dsus2 Em G1
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
Em Dsus2 Em G1
There'll be pay in my pocket tonight
Verse 2 :
The Candy Store paupers lie to the share holders
They're crossing their fingers as they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat on my brow keeps feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
Bridge :
Em A
And if the blue sky mining company wont come to the rescue
Em A
If the sugar refining company wont save me
C G6 D A Bm
Whos gonna save me?
D A Bm
Whos gonna save me?
D A Bm
Whos gonna save me?
Chorus :
But if I work all day in the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
but I still walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'll be pay on your pocket tonight
and some have sailed from a distant shore
and the company takes what the company wants
and theres nothing as precious, as a hole in the ground
Guitar Solo :

Harmonica Solo:

Outro :

There... That's It!
Good Luck with it ;)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MIDNIGHT OIL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
