Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]
F#m
Some people say man is made out of mud
  F#m
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
F#m                  Bm
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
             C#                       F#m
You've got a mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[Chorus]
         F#m                          C#
You load sixteen tons and what do you get
 F#m                            C#
Another day older and deeper in debt
      F#m                            Bm
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
N.C.
I owe my soul to the company store
      F#m
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
      F#m                            D       C#
Saint Peter don't you call me to the company store
      F#m                            Bm
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
  N.C.
I owe my soul to the company store
Come on

[Interlude]
F#m E D C# x2

[Verse 2]
      F#m       E                D          C#
I was born on a mornin' when the sun didn't shine
  F#m          E            D             C#
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
         F#m     A       Bm
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
        C#                   N.C.
And the store-boss said the "Well-a bless my soul"

[Chorus]
         F#m     E        D           C#
You load sixteen tons and what do you get
 F#m        E         D         C#
Another day older and deeper in debt
      F#m             A              Bm
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
N.C.
I owe my soul to the company store

[Interlude]
F#m E D C#

[Verse 3]
      F#m      E               D         C#
I was born one mornin', in the drizzlin' rain
F#m          E                 D         C#
Fightin' and trouble have been my middle name
      F#m           A                Bm
I was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion
            C#m                     C#
Cain't no a high-tone woman make me walk the line

{Chorus]
     F#m     E        D           C#
Yea, sixteen tons and what do you get?
 F#m        E         D         C#
Another day older and deeper in debt
      F#m             A              Bm
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
  F#m
I owe my soul to the company store

[Bridge]
F#m      G#m
I own my soul

[Verse 4]
   G#m                             D#
If you see me comin', better step aside
  G#m        F#       E          D#
A lot of men didn't a lot of men died
    G#m     B             C#m
One fist of iron, and the other of steel
       B                           D#                      N.C.
If the left don't gotcha, then the right one will you load

[Chorus]
N.C.                      D#
Sixteen tons (what do you get?)
 G#m        F#        E         D#
Another day older and deeper in debt
      G#m             B              C#m
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
  D#                 G#m
I owe my soul to the company store
      G#m
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
      G#m                            E       D#
Saint Peter don't you call me to the company store
      G#m             B              C#m
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
N.C.                      D# G#m
I owe my soul to the company store
                                     D#      G#m
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
