C 
Well I’m down in the Old Coal Mine 
C                       G 
Hammer ringin’, beatin’ time 
G               F                   C 
Longing for the sun, just to see it shine 
C                   G        C 
And I’m down in the Old Coal Mine 


[Verso 1]

C 
I make my living diggin’ coal 
C                           G 
I got black dust down in my soul 
G            F             C 
The way they treat us is a crime 
C            G        C 
Down in this Old Coal Mine

Longing for the sun, just to see it shine

And I’m down in the Old Coal Mine 


[Verso 2]

C 
That long black tunnel is all I see 
C                              G 
This mine will be the death of me 
G       F                  C 
Cause I choose to spend my time 
C            G        C 
Down in this Old Coal Mine

C 
I’ll never leave this minin’ town 
C                              G 
My whole world has done turned round 
G      F                 C 
If you need me, I can be found

Down in this Old Coal Mine
