      Now That The Work Is Done 








Drop D Tuning (DADGBE)
Capo 2
 
 
[Intro]
D  A7 D  A  Bm  F#m  G  Asus
D  A7 D  A  Bm  F#m  G  A  G  A7  D
G/B   Asus  D
 
[Verse 1]
      D      Asus   D        Asus
I was up and gone before the sun
   Bm       F#m   G       Asus
In darkness I had made my living
       D          Asus   D       Asus
But it seems that now my race is run
   Bm    F#m       G     A         G/B      C#dim   D     G/B   Asus  D
An empty handshake I was given now that the work is done
 
 
[Bridge]
      D         Asus D      Asus
If my dad could only see us now
        Bm    F#m      G        Asus
And the empty mines he worked before
     D      Asus    D        Asus
He'd find a way to live somehow
         Bm       F#m    G        A        G/B      C#dim   D
But he'd kick somebody's arse for sure now that the work is done
 
[Chorus]
D7         G/D     D9      Dsus2
Where have all the seasons gone?
D7         G/D     D9      Dsus2
Buried by coal dust and clay
D7         G/D     D9      Dsus2
Where have all the reasons gone?
    Em                  D9    A7
The wind has blown them away
 
[Break]
D  A7 D  A  Bm  F#m  G  Asus
D  A7 D  A  Bm  F#m  G  A  G  A7  D
G/B   Asus  D
 
[Verse 2]
        D        Asus    D  Asus
So it's westward now: Ontario
  Bm        F#m     G         Asus
A different tune; a different song
       D           Asus     D       Asus
To the place where concrete flowers grow
     Bm              F#m   G      A        G/B      C#dim   D
In a world where you never will belong now that the work is done
 
[Chorus]
D7         G/D     D9      Dsus2
Where have all the seasons gone?
D7         G/D     D9      Dsus2
Buried by coal dust and clay
D7         G/D     D9      Dsus2
Where have all the reasons gone?
    Em                  D9    A7
The wind has blown them away
 
[Bridge]
  D      Asus  D          Asus
I look into my childrens' eyes
     Bm       F#m           G    Asus
Cape Breton's gone; there's only city
         D     Asus     D    Asus
And I'll n'ere again be underground
  Bm      F#m      G    A          G/B      C#dim   D     G/B   Asus  D
Until the day that I am buried now that the work is done
 
[Outro]
      D      Asus   D        Asus
I was up and gone before the sun
   Bm       F#m   G       Asus
In darkness I had made my living
       D        Asus    D       Asus
But it seems my race is finally run
   Bm    F#m       G     A         G/B      C#dim   D
An empty handshake I was given now that the work is done
