(Dm)Up at eight, you can't be late
for (C)Matthew & Son, (Dm)he won't wait.
Watch them run down to platform one
for the (C)eight-thirty train (Dm)to Matthew & Son.

(A)Matthew & Son,  the work's never done,
there's always something (G)new.
The (A)files in your head, you take them to bed,
you`re never ever (G)through.
And they've been (D)working all (G)day, all (A)day, all (D)day.(G)(A)(D)(Dm)

There's a five minute break and that's all you take
for a (C)cup of cold coffee and a (Dm)piece of cake. 

(A)Matthew & Son,  the work's never done,
there's always something (G)new.
The (A)files in your head, you take them to bed,
you`re never ever (G)through.
And they've been (D)working all (G)day, all (A)day, all (D)day.(G)(A)(D)(Dm)

He's got people who've been (G)working, for fifty (Dm)years,
no one asks for more (G)money, `cause nobody (Dm)dares.
even though they're pretty (G)low and, their rent's in ar(Dm)rears.(G)

(A)Matthew & Son, (G)Matthew & Son, (A)Matthew & Son
(G)Matthew & Son, and they`ve been (D)working all (G)day
all (A)day, all (D)day. (G)(A)(D)(Dm)  

(A)Matthew & Son, (G)Matthew & Son, (A)Matthew & Son, (G)Matthew & Son
