       D                          G                 D 
It's a Working Man I am, and I've been down under - ground, and 
    D                             A 
I swear to God, if I ever see the sun, 
       D                         G             D 
Or for any length of time, I can hold it in my mind, 
   D               A               D    
I never again will go down under - ground. 

verse 1 

       D                           G                 D 
At the age of sixteen years, oh he quarrels with his peers, 
                                   A 
Who vowed they'd never see another one, 
       D                                  G               D 
In the dark recess of the mine, Where you age before your time, and 
    D              A             D 
The coal dust lies heavy on your lungs.
