Intro: D A D A D G C G D G D A D
A
Times down here they was hard as life
D
Ice on the frozen river
A
And the promises made by the men in grey
D
They seem to be delivered
G C G
Deaken and me we were marking time
D G
In the ranks of the unemployed
D A
When they hired us on for a week or so
D A D
To work with the Gypsy Boys, oh
A
Well, the factory closed down yesterday
D
The textiles' turn tomorrow
A
Say what you will, but down this way
D
One goes, the other follows
G C G
So it's up you riggers, up you riggers go
D G
While your chains around, rejoice
D A
'Cause they hired us on for a week or so
D
To work with the Gypsy Boys
