Chorus 
(Em)Go (Bm)boys (Em)go
They'll time your (D)every (Em)breath
And every (D)day you’re (Em)in this (Bm)place your (Em)two days (D)near to (Em)death
But you go

Repeat chorus
Well a (Em)process man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie
I work and breathe a(G)mong the fumes that tread across the (Em)sky
There's thunder all a(D)round me and there's (Am)poison in the (Bm)air
There's a (Em)lousy smell that (G)smacks of (D)hell and (Em)dust all (D)in me (Em)hair

Chorus
Well I've (Em)worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the (G)gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you (Em)choke
I've stood knee deep (D)cyanide, got (Am)sick with a caustic (Bm)burn
Been (Em)working rough, I've (G)seen e(D)nough, to (Em)make your (D)stomach (Em)turn

Chorus
Instrumetal Bridge (Optianal)
There's (Em)overtime and bonus opportunities galore
The young men like their (G)money and they all come back for (Em)more
But soon your knocking (D)on and you look (Am)older than you (Bm)should
For (Em)every bob made (G)on this (D)job, you (Em)pay with (D)flesh and (Em)blood

Chorus
Repeat 1st verse (Optional)
