Greg Russell And Ciaran Algar - The Workhouse
[INTRO:] Am G Am G Am G Am D
[VERSE 1:]
N.C. Am G
There is a town in middle England
Am G
There is a town deep in this land
Am G
Beyond that town in middle England
Am D
Beyond the streets there grimly stands
Em D
A silent house of isolation
C D
Red brick and slate, it stands apart
Em D
The workhouse stands, it's desolation
C D
And like its memories, won't depart
[CHORUS:]
N.C. Am G
Step through the door, walk through the hall
Am G
You'll feel a voice speak from the wall
Am G
You'll feel a voice you cannot hear
Am D
So far away, so very near
Em Am D
So very near
[VERSE 2:]
N.C. Am G
There is a path up to the workhouse
Am G
The pauper's path, the pauper's pain
Am G
Walk on that path up to the workhouse
Am D
Then feel the poor that walk again
Em D
You'll feel the shame and desperation
C D
You'll feel the hunger and the fear
Em D
You'll feel the blame and recrimination
C D
You'll feel the tread you cannot hear
[CHORUS:]
Am G
Step through the door, walk through the hall
Am G
You'll feel a voice speak from the wall
Am G
You'll feel a voice you cannot hear
Am D
So far away, so very near
Em Am D Em Am D
So very near
[VERSE 3:]
N.C. Am G
From every window in the workhouse
Am G
You'll see the view the paupers had
Am G
From every window in the workhouse
Am D
You'll feel the pain, you'll feel the sadness
Em D
You'll feel the aching wish to be with
C D
The ones from whom they're torn apart
Em D
You'll feel the waking ways to see them
C D
Though what you see may break your heart
[CHORUS:]
Am G
Step through the door, walk through the hall
Am G
You'll feel a voice speak from the wall
Am G
You'll feel a voice you cannot hear
Am D
So far away, so very near
Em Am D Em Am D Em
So very near
