               F/C  C 
A room on the top floor 
                        Bb   C 
And the chest all but knackered 
                 Bb  C 
Two fingers not wo-rking 
                        F/C 
And the back's shot to hell 
                             Am      C/G 
It's a lifetime of digging trenches 
                     F   C 
In the cold and wet weather 
                         C 
And for laying half the roadway 
   Bb          C 
In England as well 


                    F/C   C 
You'd finish in the one place 
                        Bb  C 
It was straight to the next one 
                     Bb  C 
And you never could settle 
                      F 
And you were always alone 
                   Am    C/G 
Just a drifter in limbo 
                 F    C 
I was best off away, son 
                  C 
Just one of the thousands 
           Bb       C 
Who could never go home 


                    Bb   C   Bb6 
That's your mighty man, son 
      Gm     C 
Your mighty man 


                         F    C 
Well, the boat and the train ride 
              Bb C 
In a misty November 
                         Bb C 
We had the worst of the lodgings 
                  F 
And we hated the subs 
                  Am      C/G 
Ma's face on the leaving 
                 F  C 
I will always remember 
                     C 
And we wouldn't get paid 
                 Bb             C 
Until they had closed up their pubs

                         F/C  C 
And I could stand up on horseback 
                     Bb C 
Was the man for the singing 
                    Bb C 
Put my hand up for boxing 
                          F 
At the fairground on the heath 
                   Am      C/G 
I could play my accordion 
                      F C 
And charm all of the women 
                     C 
And dance round the taproom 
         Bb         C 
With a chair in my teeth 


                    Bb   C   Bb6 
That's your mighty man, son 
      Gm     C 
Your mighty man 

                    Bb   C   Bb6 
That's your mighty man, son 
      Gm     C 
Your mighty man
