Вступление
[Verse 1]
Am D E7 Am
Out of the dirt and darkness I was born, go down!
Am Em Am E7
Out of the hard black coalface I was torn, go down!
C
Kicked on the world and the earth split open
E7 Am G Am
Crawled through a crack where the rock was broken
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Burrowed a hole, away in the coal, go down!
[Verse 2]
Am D E7 Am
In a cradle of coal in the darkness I was laid, go down!
Am Em Am E7
Down in the dirt and darkness I was raised, go down!
C
Cut me teeth on a five-foot timber
E7 Am G Am
Held up the roof with my little finger
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Started me time away in the mine, go down!
[Verse 3]
Am D E7 Am
On the day that I was born I was six feet tall, go down!
Am Em Am E7
And the very next day I learned the way to haul, go down!
C
On the third day worked at board and piller
E7 Am G Am
Worked on the fourth as a long-wall filler
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Getting me steam up, hewing the seam, go down!
[Verse 4]
Am D E7 Am
I'm the son of the son of the son of a collier's son, go down!
Am Em Am E7
Coal dust runs in the veins where the blood should run, go down!
C
Five steel ribs and an iron backbone
E7 Am G Am
Teeth that can bite through rock and blackstone
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Working me time, away in the mine, go down!
[Verse 5]
Am D E7 Am
Three hundred years I hewed at the coal by hand, go down!
Am Em Am E7
In the pits of Durham and East Northumberland, go down!
C
Been gassed and burned and blown asunder
E7 Am G Am
Buried more times than I can number
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Getting the coal, away in the hole, go down!
[Verse 6]
Am D E7 Am
I've scrabbled and picked at the face where the roof was low, go down!
Am Em Am E7
Crawled in the seams where only a mole could go, go down!
C
In the thin-cut seams I've ripped and redded
E7 Am G Am
Where even the rats are born bow-legged
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Winning the coal, away in the hole, go down!
[Verse 7]
Am D E7 Am
I've worked in the Hutton, the Plessey, the Brockwell Seam, go down!
Am Em Am E7
The Bensham, the Busty, the Beaumont, the Marshall Green, go down!
C
I've lain on me back in the old three-quarter
E7 Am G Am
Up to the chin in stinking water
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Hewing the coal, away in the hole, go down!
[Verse 8]
Am D E7 Am
In the northern pits I've sweated and earned me pay, go down!
Am Em Am E7
Toiled in the worn-out drift mines night and day, go down!
C
Where the anthracite is hard and shining
E7 Am G Am
I've tried me hand at the hard-rock mining
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
I dug me a hole away in the coal, go down!
[Verse 9]
Am D E7 Am
Out of the dirt and darkness I was born, go down!
Am Em Am E7
Out of the hard black coal-face I was torn, go down!
C
Lived in the shade of the high pit heap
E7 Am G Am
I'm still down there where the seams are deep
Dm Am Dm E7 Am
Digging a hole, away in the coal, go down!
