               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
