[Intro]
Am Am  Am Am  F F  G G
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Call it new technology
                   F
And they use it to burn
                    G
And they show no concern
Am
Work for their prosperity
                     F
While the big wheels turn
                     Dm  G
Now it's too late to l-e-a-r-n
 
[Bridge]
C                    F
Don't upset the teacher
                  C       F
Though we know he lied to you
Dm                    F
Don't upset the preacher
                     G G6 Dm     E
He's gonna close his e-y-e-s for you
 
[Chorus]
           F
And it's a shame
                Bm7
That you're so afraid
       Am                            Em    F
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
                 G                  Am     F
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
                 G                  Am
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Father worked in industry
                       F
Now the work has moved on
                  G
And the factory's gone
Am
See them sell your history
                    F
Where once you were strong
                Dm    G
And you used to b-e-l-o-n-g
 
[Bridge]
C                    F
There was once a future
              C   F
For a working m-a-n
Dm                   F
There was once a lifetime
               G G6 Dm
For a skillful h-a-n-d
      E
Yesterday
 
[Chorus]
           F
And it's a shame
                G
That you're so afraid
       Am                            Em    F
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
                 G                  Am     B7 F
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
                 G                  Am
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

[Verse 3]
Am
Tempers fray so easily
                F
In desperate despair
                    G
Is there anyone who cares?
Am
Just another tragedy
                   F
Just a personal affair
              Dm  G
In a room somew-h-e-r-e
 
[Bridge]
C                    F
There was once a future
              C   F
For a working m-a-n
Dm                   F
There was once a lifetime
               G G6 Dm

Yesterday
 
[Chorus]

That you're so afraid
       Am                            Em    F
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
                 G                  Am     F
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
                 G                  Am                    B7 F
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream (broken dream)
                 G                  Am
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
 
[Outro]
F       C         G      Am     F
Of a broken, of a broken dream
                 G                  Am                    F
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream (broken dream)
                 G                  Am
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream ...      (fade out)
