The tune is *mostly* that of the traditional Irish song "The Foggy Dew" but
there are deviations.

suggestions are welcome.
Black 47 -- "Livin' in America" -- From their self-titled album
Bm G
MAN: Oh, it's six o'clock and it's time to rock
Em Am Em
And me head is beatin' like a drum
Em G Bm
In the cold day light, ah I feel like shite
G C Em
And I can't remember last night's fun
G D G
Then the foreman says, "C'mon now boys
G Bm Am C
Stick your fingers down your throat and get to work"
G Em D Bm
And I wish to Christ I'd stayed home last night
Em Am Em
Instead of drinkin' in America
Em D Bm
Oh, I knock down walls with big iron balls
G Em
And I mix cement by the ton
Em D Bm
With me tongue hangin' out for a bottle of stout
C Am Em
Sweatin' bullets in the Brooklyn sun
G D G
Then I think of her up on Kings Bridge Road
G Am
Did she mean what she said last night
Em D Bm
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
Em Am Em
Livin' in America
Em D Bm
G Em
Em D Bm
WOMAN: On me way downtown, I think of that clown
Em Am Em
And the things that he said last night
Em D Bm
Did he mean 'em at all or was it just drink talk
Bm Am Em
Oh, I must look a terrible sight
G D G
Put me makeup on as I watch the sun
G Bm Am C
Rise high over Fordham Road
Em D Bm
BOTH: Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
G Am Em
Livin' in America
