[Intro]
Asus4
 
 
[Verse 1]
Asus4               Em7/A             A7      D
Hurrying across the bridge before the siren's call
Asus4                          Em7/A       A7               D
This morning she's chasing her shadow, all along the factory wall
     G                                        D
Then through the gate, where she will wait in line
   G                                    D
To cross the yard, to clock her card in time
              E          G           D
And under her scarf, her hair set in curls
           E            G       D
The day be-gins for the factory girl
 
[Verse 2]
Asus4                        Em7/A           A7                       D
For a while the girls try to talk, but their voices soon drown in the din
Asus4                                   Em7/A       A7               D
And their eyes watch their hands do the work, and a new day's rhythm begins
   G                                 D
No change today, like yesterday, the same
    G                                 D
But dinner soon, then afternoon, then home
             E           G      D
And hurrying home in the fading light
            E             G     D
The factory girl is going out tonight
 
[Bridge]
Am
Her momma says: "Don't be late,
Am            G      G/F#         G/F
You've got to get up again before eight"
Em                   EmMaj7      Em7        A6
"Oh yes", she sighs, but there's joy in her eyes
       Am                             D
As she runs down the path through the gate
 
[Verse 3]
Asus4                Em7/A   A7                         D
And out on the rainy streets hoping that her night will last
Asus4                      Em7/A                    A7                      D
No whispering palms on the beach, for her, Just the swish of the cars going past
     G                                 D
But she believes no one could feel the same
G                              D
Touching and whispering in the rain
                   E        G         D
But the rain takes away her beautiful curls
                  E            G       D
The night is soon gone for the factory girl
 
[Instrumental Bridge]
Am
Am            G      G/F#      G/F
Em            EmMaj7 Em7       A6
Am            D
 
[Verse 4]
Asus4                    Em7/A  A7               D
And hurrying across that bridge before the siren's call
Asus4                           Em7/A        A7                D
This morning she's skipping the puddles, all along the factory wall
  G                                        D
A starling sings, he shakes his wings, she smiles
     G                                 D
Then at the gate, she hesitates, for a while
                     E          G      D
Then from inside the gates, the sirens roar
               E             G       D
And across the yard runs the factory girl
