Introduction:
A7M
verse 1
F#m
When all the work is done
F#m
The work is done
E
A place for everything til everything is in its place
D
And every setting sun
D
When the work was done
A A7M
Was a day that didn't go to waste
F#m
When all the work is done
F#m
It will be done
E
Producing everything for everything to be replaced
D
And in dirty towns we will settle down
A A7M
Manufacture for the human race
Pre-Chorus
D A A7M
The greatest story that was ever told in the lines of history
D
Was the grand designs of other men
A A7M
And they built those walls for you and me
D E
So don't start thinking we can start again
F#m E
Start a riot in the streets my friend
D E
Or they'll start pulling us apart again
F#m E
Cause idle hands make idle men
D E
Don't start thinking with your heart again
F#m E
Cause idle hands make idle men
verse 2
F#m
When the work is done, the work is done
E
We'll be bionic and beyond the circuits of our minds
D
We'll get nothing done under electric sun
A A7M
Leave the weight of labour far behind
Pre-Chorus
D
We're the greatest story that was ever told
A A7M
But we don't know where we're from
D
And the walls became but a memory
A A7M
Of the days when all the work begun
D E
So don't start thinking we can start again
F#m E
Start a riot in the streets my friend
D E
Or they'll start pulling us apart again

Cause idle hands make idle men

Rejoice the day, the day the work is done

Rejoice the day, the day the work is done
