Working on the highways and byways and
Bb                 C7
wearing, wearing a frown
F                           Dm
You hear they moaning their lives away
Bb            C7
Then you hear somebody say;


[Chorus]

Well don't you know
                        Bb
That's the sound of the men

Working on the chain, gang
F                       Bb

Working on the chain, gang

Working on the chain, gang
F                       Bb
That's the sound of the men
               C7     F
Working on the chain, gang
