G 
Farewell the colliery workers, the muffler and the cap. Fare-thee 
C 
well you Rhondda valley girls, we

G                 C 
mines they are a--closin', the 
Am               D 
valleys are all  doomed. There’s

no work in the  Rhondda, boys, we'll 
D             G      C  G  D  G 
be in London  soon.

C 
 lads have got the sack, so a-

verse 2 
G 
No more the chapel singin', for that 
C 
long ago has left us, in the 
D 
public house no more the miner's

pit wheels they’re a-stoppin', and I 
D                               G      D 
can't afford to stay here very  long.
