[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [A] _
[E] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
It's a working man I am, _ [D] and I've been down [A] to ground,
and I swear to God if I ever see [E] the sun, _ _ _ _
[A] for any length of time, I [D] can hold it in [A] my mind. _
I never again will [E] go down _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
at the age of sixteen years,
with [D] my father close [A] to tears, as he vowed never again to send [E] his son
to _ _ _ _ [A] the dark recess of the mind, where [D] you age before [A] your time,
and the coal dust [E] lies heavy on [A] your lungs. _ _ _ _
It's a working man I am, and [D] I've been down [A] to ground,
and I swear to God if I ever see [E] the sun, _ _ _ _
for [A] any length of time, I [D] can hold it in my [A] mind. _
I never again will [E] go down _ [A] to ground.
_ At _ _ the age of sixty-five, I pray [D] to God I'm still [A] alive,
and the wheels above the mines no [E] longer whine, _ _ _ _
and [A] they finally close the hole, [D] where for years we [A] clawed coal, _
and never again will [E] we go down [D] underground.
_ _ _ [G] _ _

I [F] can hold it in [C] my mind.
I never _ again will [G] go down.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
