Skint in a material world
Am6
I did a warehouse stint

for south sea girl
Am
It was Hong Kong
A7sus4
clothes for cash
Am6
Everybody got treated
Am
worse than trash
D9
Punch the card in
the company clock
A7sus4
Load trolleys and
the company trucks
Am
And around and around the
whole day through
D9
And you couldn't sit down when
Am
there was nothing to do
[Verse 2]
Am
Well, they had beaten up
A7sus4
people from every land
Am6
Fools like me trying

to be in bands

A little French girl

so good to me
Am6
But I couldn't love
Am
her back so lonely
D9
It was a backpacker
travelling through

A lumberjack with the
travelling blues

We had worn out shoes and
worn out cuffs

Big ideas that were never big enough

He said, "The man wants you,

Am A7sus4
Some were grown up unlike me
Am6 Am
And were dealing with reality
Am
I was spitting, sulking,

smoking, shirking

While the lady from Jamaica
Am
was singing and working

I had everyone but me to blame

And everyday was just the same

Well, nobody ever said it
was a righteous world
D9
But if they did, they never said
Am
to that south sea girl

He said, "The man wants you,
go wash his car"

Am
Well, I've made my bed
A7sus4
on people's floors
Am6
Opened up and

closed some doors
Am
Dreamed that if my

dreams came true
Am6
Then I wouldn't do what
Am
I didn't want to

Walking through the gates
to the outside
Am
To dream some dreams
A7sus4
that never died
Am
And I walked the streets
of London town
D9
Looking for a place to
Am E9
put my head down
[Chorus]

He said, "The man wants you,
go wash his car"

I said, "Me? Not me, uh,
uh, no can do"
Am
No can, can do, no can
Am
No can, can do, no can
