Am      C 
  Is it worth it? 
F              Ab                     G 
  A new winter coat and shoes for the wife 
Bb              Ab                   G 
  And a bicycle on the boy's birthday 
                            C 
It's just a rumor that was spread around town 
F                  G 
  By the women and children 
              C           N.C. 
Soon we'll be shipbuilding

  Well, I ask you

  But I'll be back by Christmas" 
                           C 
It's just a rumor that was spread around town 
F                   G                    Am 
 Somebody said that someone got filled i---n 
                G                   C 
For saying that people get killed i---n

It's just a rumor that was spread around town 
F                 G               Am 
 A telegram for a picture postcard 
                          G                   F 
Within weeks they'll be reopening the shipyard
