Some people say man is made of mud,
[F#m] A poor man's [C#m] made out of muscle [G#] and blood,
[F#m] Muscle and blood and skin and bones,
[C#] A man that's weak in the back of that strong,
You'll load [F#] sixteen [A]
tons, [D] what [C#] do you get?
[F#m] Another [C#m] day older [D] and [F#] deeper in debt,
Saying Peter [A] don't call me [B] cause I can't [Cm] go,
[A] I owe my soul to [F#] the company [F#m] still,
[D] [C#] [F#m]
[D] [C#] [F#m] [A] I'm [Bm] [C] [F#m] [B] [A] born [C#] [F#m] [C#m] in the [D] morning when the sun didn't [F#m] shine,
I'm a child and I walk down [C#] the line,
[D] You'll load [A] sixteen tons,
[Bm] A number nine coal and a straw,
But [C#] I say, oh well bless my soul,
You'll [F#m] load sixteen tons, [D] what [C#] do you get?
[F#m] Another day older and deeper in debt,
Saying Peter [A] don't call me [Bm] cause I can't [F#m] go,
I owe my [G#] soul to [C#] the company [F] still,
I [F#m]
[C#] was [D] [A]
[C#] [F#m]
[B] [F#] born in a joint [D] that was gracefully [F] framed,
[F#] I'm in trouble, [D] I'm my middle [E] name,
I was raised in the [C#m] canary [B] by an old mama lion,
Can a high [F#] tone woman [C#] make me walk the [F#m] line?
You'll load [E] sixteen tons, [D] what do you [C#] get?
[F#m] Another [E] day older [D] and deeper [C#] in debt,
[F#m] Saying Peter [A] don't call me [Bm] cause I can't [G#] go,
[F#m] I owe my [C#] soul to the company still,
[F#]
[D]
So if you see [E] me come [D] better [C#] step aside,
[F#m] A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men [C#] died,
[F#m] One passed [A] divine [Bm] and another a steal,
[F#m] If the right one don't [C#] get you better left one will,
[F#m] You'll load sixteen [D] tons, what [C#] do you get?
[F#m] Another [E] day older [D] and deeper [F#m] in debt,
Saying Peter [A] don't call [Bm] me cause I can't [C] go,
[D] I [G#m] owe [A] my [C#] soul to the company still,
[F#m] [D] [C#]
[F#m] Oh yeah!
