D C/D D
D A/D D G/D A/DNow my grandfather was a sailor, he blew in off the water
D A/D G/D A/DMy father was a farmer and I, his only Daughter,
D A/D G/D A/Dtook up with a no-Good millworking man from Massachusetts
D A/D G/D A/D DwHo dies from too much whiskey and leaves me these three faces to feed
D Csus2 G6/B A7sus4
A/D D G/D A/DMill-work ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard
D A/D G/D A/DMill-work, it ain't nothing but an awful Boring job
D A/D G/D A/D
I'm waiting For a day dreAm to take me through the morning
D A/D G/D A/D D
and put me in my Coffee break where I can have a sandwich and rEmEmber
C(addD) G6/BThen it's me and my machine For the rest of the morning
Gm/Bb A7sus4For the rest of the afternoon
D C/D D C/Dand the rest of my life
Now my mind begins to wander to the days back on the farm
I can see my father smiling at me, swingin' on his arm
I can hear my granD-dad's stories of the storms out on Lake Erie
where vessels and carGos and Fortunes and sailor's lives were lost
Yes, but it's my life has been wasted, and I have been the Fool
to let this manufacture use my Body For a tool.
I can ride Home in the evening, staring at my hands
swearing by my sorrow that a young girl ought to stand a better chance
C(addD) G6/B
So may I work the mills just as long as I Am Able
Gm/Bb A7sus4 D
and never meet the man wHose nAme is on the lAbel
C(addD) G6/BIt be me and my machine For the rest of the morning
Gm/Bb A7sus4For the rest of the afternoon
D C/D D C/Dand the rest of my life
