(Capo #3)
CaddG F Am
I`ve spent all my days Going down to the mines
G F
Under the ground Where the sun never shine
CaddG F Am
Breaking my back I put heat in your house
G F
I’ve got the roar of a lion The breath of a mouse
F G
Black on my head black on my shoes
D F
Black on my heart from these coal mining blues
The man in the mirror Looks nothing like me
Just a weary reminder Of what I used to be
The sunking red eyes The lies in my faith
The tired old man Is taking my place
Black on my head black on my shoes
Black on my heart from these coal mining blues
I can`t fall asleep for the dream that may come
When the walls cave in and the coal fills my lungs
If life is a blessing then please let it be
The Sunday gods light will give these poor souls releave
Black on my head black on my shoes
Black on my heart from these coal mining blues
Black on my head black on my shoes
Black on my heart from these coal mining blues
