It's a [F]working man, I am, and I've [Bb]been down under-[F]ground,
And I swear to God, if I ever see the [C]sun, (2 [Csus4]3 4, [C]1 2 3)
Or for [F]any length of time, I can [Bb]hold it in my [F]mind,
I [F]never again will [C]go down under-[F]ground.

{c:verse 1}
At the [F]age of sixteen years, oh he [Bb]quarrels with his [F]peers,
Who vowed they'd never see another [C]one, (2 [Csus4]3 4, [C]1 2 3)
In the [F]dark recess of the mine, Where you [Bb]age before your [F]time, and
The [F]coal dust lies [C]heavy on your [F]lungs.

At the [F]age of sixty-four, Old will [Bb]greet you at the [F]door, and

He'll [F]tell you of, the [C]hardships that were [F]had.
