_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] From his window he watches as people, _ _ _ they come and go on [G] their _ way. _ _
Rushing to catch the train homewards, _ _ as he often did in [C] his day.
[G] _ _ [C] He remembers the dark of the mornings, _ _ _ and the days he worked in [G] the rain.
_ _ _ The good times, the bad times, and the friends that he knew, _ [Dm]
he'll [G] never see them [C] _
_ [F] again.
_ [C] At night when the streets are deserted, _ _ _ _ except for the take-away [G] _
signs.
_ _ He thinks of [Dm] the [G] men that he worked with, _ _ on the buildings, the roads, [C] and the mines.
_ _ The girl that he met in the gouty, _ _ he thought he might make her [G] his own. _ _ _
Maybe if there was less drinking, _ _ [Dm] he wouldn't [G] have wound up [C]
alone.
_ _ _ _ [F]
B is for powerful, when put to the test.
_ [C]
A is for _ always doing your best.
_ [F]
D is for do it, if it can be done.
[D] And E is for drinking [G] when working was done.
_ [F]
Y is for yearning to see home again.
_ [C]
Proud to be Irish, and hard-working men.
_ [F]
Paddy, you remember, though your day is done, [G] you're the rock that England [C] stands _ [Dm] on.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] He can never _ explain just what happened. _ _ _ _
Years seem to pass like [G] a day. _ _ _ _
Was it the rain or the shovel, _ _ _ took the strength from his limbs _ [C]
away? _ _ _ _ _
Sometimes he thinks of the boring, _ _ _ that led from his house to [G] the lane.
_ _ And the fields that he [Dm] worked with his [G]
father, _ _ _ _ [Dm]
he'll never [G] see them [C] _
again.
_ _ _ [F]
B is for powerful, when put to the test.

_ [F]
Paddy, you remember, though your day is done, [G] you're the rock that [C] England stands _ [Dm] on.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] As he makes his way back to the shelter, _ _ _ _ rain starts to fall on [G] the ground.
_ _ _ A young man just in from Cork City, _ _ _ _ asks him where work [C] could be found.
_ He said, son, take a long look at Paddy, _ _ and remember _ whatever you [G]
do.
_ _ _ This broken old man that you're seeing, _ _ _ [Dm] was once a [G] young fella [C] like you.
_ _ _ [F] P is for powerful, when put to the test.
_ [C]
A is for _ always doing your best.
_ [F]
D is for do it, if it can be done.

Paddy, you remember, though your day is done, [G] you're the rock that England [C] stands on.
