Chords for Mary Duff - Working Man (Live at Letterkenny Sports & Leisure Centre, County Donegal, Ireland)

I'd like to sing a song for you this time.
I heard this one many, many years ago
and I really fell in love with it.
I thought it was a great, great song and I promised myself
if I ever got the opportunity that I would record it and thankfully I've got the opportunity.
And it's a song which tells the story of a man who is now reminiscing about his younger life
and in particular about the hardships that he endured while working down the coal mine.
Something like this.

[A] _ [E] _ _ _ It's a working man I am _ and [A] I've been down [E] underground
_ and I swear to God if I ever see [B] the sun or _ _ _ [E] for any length of time
I [A] can hold it in [E] my mind I never again will [B] go down [A] underground _ _
At _ [E] _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ _
[A] [E] the age of 16 years all [A] he quarrels with [E] his peers
Who _ vowed they'd never see another [B] one _ _ _ _
In [E] the dark recess of the mines _ where [A] you age before [E] your time
And the coal _ [B] lies heavy on [E] your _ lawn _ _ _
It's a working man I am and _ [A] I've been down _ [E] underground
And I swear to God if I ever see [B] the sun
_ Or _ _ [E] for any length of time I [A] can hold it in [E] my mind _

Oh [A] he'll greet you at [E] the door
And he'll _ gently lead you [B] by the arm _ _
Through [E] the dark recess of the mines
Oh [A] he'll take you back [E] in time
And he'll tell you all [B] the hardships that [E] were _ had
Sing with us _
It's a working man I am and [A] I've been down _ [E] underground
And I swear to God if I ever see [B] the sun
_ Or _ _ [E] for any length of time I [A] can hold it in [E] my mind _
I never again will [B] _ _
go [E] down underground
It's _ _ _ a working man I am _ [A] and I've been down
And [E] _ _ _
I swear to God [A] if I [E] ever see the [B] _ sun
