Intro: G 

Verse 
G               Cadd9        G           Cadd9 
Standing on the floor in the city of the spindles 
G        Cadd9        D 
Got me a job, lift me up to the middle 
    G            Cadd9     G           Cadd9 
The Offering, it painted a very pretty picure, 
G           Cadd9          D                       Dsus4  D 
Work at the mills held the promise of the Scripture 

      Em               C 
But a girl like me was worked to the bone 
     G                     D 
Your fingers bled and your body moaned 
Em         C               G                 D               Dsus4  D 
14 hours a day and then my paycheck was just half of the men 

G       Cadd9       G          Cadd9 
Looking down with oppression's face, 
     G       Cadd9      D 
That pile of money they steal and waste 
G         Cadd9               G       Cadd9 
Then they said they'd have to cut our pay so 
   G         Cadd9               D  G 
We broke our cage and formed the FLRA 

Pre-Chorus 
         Em                       C 
Oh, they said, "What a waste of a pretty girl 
   G             D 
to let the labor flag unfurl." 
  Em                       C 
I said, "What more can you take from me? 
  G                   D         Dsus4  D 
I own my hands and my dignity." 

   Em                        C 
So pass me a match and we'll strike it on the ground 
          G         D/F#    D 
And we'll head back down to Boston Town 
Em                              C 
We can start a fire and they'll never put it out 
          G         D/F#    D      G 
And we'll head back down to Boston Town.
