[Verse 1]
D                 G
The wheelbarrow's fallen
Bm         E
Look at my hands
D                          G
They've found some surplus cheaper hands
Bm                E
Rubbing palms and pick and choose
D             D
Who will they choose?
D           D
Here is the news
 
[Verse 2]
D            G
Look at that building
Bm           E
Look at this man
D          G
Haloed and whitewashed
Bm               E
Gone to find a cheaper hand
D             D
He'll offer a pound
D            D
Offer a pound
 
[Chorus]
A              G
Green grow the rushes go
A              G
Green grow the rushes go
A              G
Green grow the rushes go
Bm                  Bm
The compass points the workers home
 
[Verse 3]
D            G
Pay for your freedom
Bm             E
Or find another gate
D         G
Guilt by associate
Bm              E              D
The rushes wilted a long time ago
D             D
Guilty as you go
 
[Verse 4]
D             G
Stay off that highway
Bm            E
Word is, it's not so safe
D                G
The grasses that hide the greenback
Bm                 E        D
The amber waves of gain again
D                  D
The amber waves of grain
 
[Chorus]
A              G
Green grow the rushes go
A              G
Green grow the rushes go
A              G
Green grow the rushes go
Bm                     Bm
The compass points the workers home
