This ain't be long till you call me, cause I can't go

[F] _ [F#] _ _ Fuckin' fuckin' deadass, fuckin' deadass
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I started to mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine gold
The strong boss said, well now bless his soul
He loaded sixteen tons and what did he get?
_ Another day, gonna ride deeper in that
This ain't be long till you call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store _ _ _ _ _

You see me coming, you better step aside
A lot of men didn't live a long time
One feels divine, the other one all steel
The right [C#] ones don't get you, then the left one will you [F#] load?
Sixteen tons and what did you get?
_ Another day, gonna ride deeper in that
This ain't be long till you call me, cause I can't go
I owe my [B] soul to the company store
