A song I did for the case, you know, everybody knew about it.

We sing our [Gm] bands to sleep with [G] songs that work is made
_ [Cm] Throw them with black dust, [C] bogeymen, when [G] day is [Gm] done
_ [C] But these ghosts [F] and mighty giants and [Gm] all fairy tales
_ [Fm] [Eb] Were men that [Bb] walked amongst us once, [C] but now they're gone
These [Fm] things I know, [Bb] for the pitman [G] poets told me so
_ [Fm] These things I know, [Bb] for the pitman [Cm] poets told me so
[Fm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] _ They [C] jowled, jowled and listened as they [G] hucked [Gm] away
A [Cm] lifetime led by love, light and [G] not by smile or sun
[Cm] And through the [Bb] crowd beneath our feet [Gm] they chewed and laid
Some were [C] swallowed with a mighty swipe of their own gun
These [Fm] things I know, [Bb] for the pitman [G] poets told me so _ _
[Fm] These things I know, [Bb] for the pitman [C] poets [Cm] told me [Fm] so

_ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] And the women watched and waited, [G] never strung and bowed
And [Cm] laughed and loved, despite the many miles to [Gm] feed
[Cm] And done the [F] fat-capped masters and the [G] lies they told
[Eb] As they [Bb] sacrificed good men to the [C] gods of gain and greed
[Fm] These things I know, [Bb] for the pitman [G] poets told [Gm] me so

[Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] _ Then the pulley wheels and wise [G] machines grew corded still
[Gm] _
_ [Cm] _ Unions lay [G] broken by deceit and lies
[Cm] Sun eyes [F] were left to stare [G] down from the pit and hill
[Gm] But [Eb] the glory [Bb] of the lives they led [Cm] will never die
[Fm] These things I know, for [Bb] the pitman [Gm] poets told me so _
