C       G            D                 Em
Sky was black, Lord, rain came pouring down
C             G              D         Am
Number 12 bus shuffling down Shaw Road way
C          G                     D               Em
Mules keep spinning, black-faced lifers peck the ground
C                 G              D           Am
Sun comes up like lightning over Tango Hills grey

CHORUS
*******
       G                       Am
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
             C           G
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day

C                G                    D                Em
Cotton mill will get you, boy, she'll take you to your grave
C               G              D                   Am
Tell you boy to use your head, apprentice out your days
C               G                  D              Em
You'll end up a nothing, boy, with cotton as your trade
C                 G              D          Am
Sun comes up like lightning over Tango Hill grey

Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day


       G                       Am
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
             C           G
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day

It's easy to see a poor boy's blues
          Am            G
When he's working every day
