[Verse]
Em D C G
Pa worked the steel mill after his days in the mines
Em D C G
Carried my sister, mother and me on shoulders made of granite and lime
Em D C G
Sixteen hour, midnight-turn, foreman on the floor
Em D
Ann and me, we'd rest easy
C G
When we heard him walk back through the front door
[Interlude]
Em D C G
Em D C G
[Verse]
Em D C G
Ma'd always pray before she'd bed down in her quilts
Em D
She'd fix him up with whatever crumbs
C G
And a Bible verse stuffed in his lunch pale
Em D C G
He took every shift that he could wrap his hands around
Em D
Because his way to keep the wolves away was
C G
To cut their tongues out before they howl
[Chorus]
Em D
Grind till' the end of your days
C G
Like somebody's coming to take it away
Em D C G
Don't waste your precious time, don't sit around, don't wait to die
Em D C G
Grind till' the end of your life, lay it all out, leave nothing behind
Em D
Rest not too easy in bed
C G
There'll be time for sleeping when you're dead
