It's a working man I am, and [D] I've been down under [A] ground.
And I swear to God, if I ever see [E] the sun, or [A] for any length of time, I could [D] hold it
in my [A] mind, I never again [E] will go down under [A] ground.
At the age of sixteen years, with [D] my father close to [A] 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 under [A] ground.
And I swear to God, if [A] I ever see [E] the sun, or for [E] any [A] length of time, I [D] could hold it
in [A] my mind, I never [C#m] again will go [E] down [A] under ground.
At the age of sixty-five, I prayed to God [D] I'm still alive, and the wheels above the
mine no longer [E] whine, and they [A] finally closed the hole, where [D] for years we clawed for [A] coal,
and never again will we go [E] down [D] under ground.
