Emmylou Harris     Millworker  written by James Taylor


C                    G         F               G
My grandfather was a sailor he blew in off the water
C               G          F           G
My father was a farmer and I his only daughter
C              G                   F                 G
took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts
 C                     G           F                     G        C
Who dies from too much whiskey and leaves me these three faces to feed
C                   G     F               G
Now Mill-work ain't easy  mill-work ain't hard
C                  G              F            G
Mill-work it ain't nothing but an awful boring job
    C             G            F                   G
I'm waiting for a day dream to take me through the morning
    C            G                  F            G            C
And put me in my coffee break where I can have a sandwich and remember
         Bb                        F
And it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning
        Fm               Gsus
For the rest of the afternoon
G                  C   Eb Bb C
For the rest of my life
C                     G              F                G
Now my mind begins to wander to the days back on the farm
C                  G               F               G
I can see my father smiling at me  swingin' on his arm
                         G                F                  G
I can hear my grand-dad's stories of the storms out on Lake Erie
C                 G          F            G                   C  
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes and sailor's lives were lost

SOLO  Eb


C                         G           F               G
But it's my life has been wasted, and I have been the fool
C                G             F          G                    
To let this manufacture use my body for a tool
                       G       F             G 
I can ride home in the evening staring at my hands
C             G                   F               G              C
Wearing by my sorrow that a young girl ought to stand a better chance
   Bb                           F
So may I work the mills just as long as I am able
    Fm                  Gsus                 C
Aand never meet the man whose name is on the label
         Bb                        F
And it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning
        Fm               Gsus 
For the rest of the afternoon
G                  C
Fnd the rest of my life
