[C]I am a [G]man who looks [Fadd9]after the [G]pigs
[C]Usually I [G]get along [Fadd9]OK[G]
[C]I am a [G]man who re[Fadd9]veals all he [G]digs
[C]Should be more [G]careful, what I [Fadd9]say[G]

I'm gettin[C]g pu[F]t down[Bb/F][Bb/F][F]
I'm getting [C]pushed [F]round[Bb/F][Bb/F][F]
[Dm]I'm being [C]beaten every [Bb5]day[Bbmaj7][Bb6][Bbmaj7]
My life's [C]fad[F]ing[Bb/F][Bb/F][F]
But things are [C]chang[F]ing[Bb/F][Bb/F][F]
[Dm]I'm not gonna [C]sit and weep [Bb5]agai[Bbmaj7]n[Bb6][Bbmaj7]

I am a man who drives the local bus
I take miners to work but the pit's all closed today
It's easy to see that you are one of us
Ain't it funny how we all seem to look the same

(repeat chorus)

[F]My Karma [C]tells me [Bb]you've been [F]screwed again
[Gm]If you let them [F]do it to ya
Eb Bb (Bbxv) Bb (Bbxv)...
You've got yourself to blame
F (Fxiiv)....
It's you who feels the pain
It's you who takes the [C]shame[G][Fadd9][G]

I am a young man, I ain't done very much
You men should remember how we used to fight
Just like a child, I've been seeing only dreams
I'm all mixed up, but I know what's right

(repeat chorus)

[C] [G] [Fadd9] [G]
