Special thanks to J180Everly on youtube for a great "how to" for this song.
The fill riffs are pretty easy to figure out if you watch his video.

[Intro]
Bm ////// G //
Hey Mr. Gold Man!
Bm G
Where's my pay?
Bm G
Hmmm Mr. Gold Man!
Bm G
Not one more day.
Bm G F# ////////
Misterrrrr! Can't you hear my children cryin’?

[Verse 1]
Bm //// G ////
Came to Pretoria in ’46,
Bm F#
to find myself a job.
Bm G
Met a man with a broken arm, he said:
C#m G#7 Bm F#
Come along with us, get onto the bus.

[Chorus 1]
Bm G D F# Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! I'm for sale!
Bm G D F# Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Please don't turn away.
Bm G D F# Bm G F#
?Hey Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear my tummy rumbling?

[Verse 2]
Bm F#
So we continued down the road,
Bm G
till we got to the mine.
Bm G
Dirt and dust all around us now.
C#m G#7 Bm F#
Hey! I didn't mind, cause I'm on the workline. Oh!

[Chorus 2]
Bm G D F# Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where's my pay?
Bm G D F# Bm
Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't wait another day.
Bm G D F# Bm G F#
Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't you see I'm almost dying?

[Verse 3]
Bm F#
Then I heard a good friend say:
Bm F#
“There's a happening in Town”
Bm G
Come and join the Union, boy.
C#m G#7 Bm F#
'Cause today, we ain't going down, we're gonna stand our ground.

[Chorus 3]
Bm G D F# Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where's my pay?
Bm G D F# Bm
?Oh Mr. Gold Man! Won't wait another day.
Bm G D F# Bm G F#
Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear the thunder coming? Ohhhhh!

[Chorus 4]
Bm G D F# Bm
Hey Mr. Gold Man! Loose these chains.
Bm G D F# Bm
Time Mr. Gold Man! Change is on its way.
Bm G D F# Bm G F#
?Go Mr. Gold Man! Don't come back, this is my country now
