Working Man

E

Chorus: It´s a working man I am

A E

And I´ve been down underground

E A H7

I swear to God if I ever see the sun

E

Or for any length of time

A E

I can hold it in my mind

E H7 E

I never again will go down underground

1. At the age of sixteen years

He quarrelled with his peers

Who vowed there´d never be another one

In the dark recess of the mines

Where you age before your time

And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs

Chorus:

2. At the age of sixty four

He will greet you at the door

And he will gently take you by the arm

Through the dark recess of the mine

He will take you back in time

And tell you all the hardships that were had

Chorus:
