It's a [F] Workin' Man I am, and
I've [Bb] been down under - [F] ground, and

If I [F] ever see the [C] sun,
Or for [F] any length of time,
I can [Bb] hold it in my [F] mind,
I [F] never again will [C] go down under - [F] ground.

At the [F] age of sixteen years,
Oh he [Bb] quarrels with his [F] peers,
Who [F] vowed they'd never see another [C] one,
In the [F] dark recess of the mine,
Where you [Bb] age before your [F] time, and
The [F] coal dust lies [C] heavy on your [F] lungs

He'll [F] tell you of the [C] hardships that were [F] had.
