[Em]
[E] Some people say a man [C#] is made [C] out of mud, [E] a poor [D] man's made [C#] out of muscle and [C] blood,
muscle [D] and blood [B] and skin [C] and bones, [B] a mind that's weak and a back that's [E] strong.
I can load [D] sixteen tons [C#] and what [C] do you get?
[Em] Another day [C#] older and [C] deeper in debt.
[Em] Sagitta, don't you call [A] me, cause I [C] can't go.
[B] I owe my soul to the company store.
[E] I was born [Em] one morning [C#m] when the sun [C] didn't shine.
[E] I picked [Em] up my shovel [C#] and I walked to [C] the mine.
I loaded [E] sixteen tons [A] of number [Am] nine coal [B] and the shore boss said, [Bm] well bless my [E] soul.
You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
Another day older [C#] and deeper [C] in debt.
[E] Sagitta, [B] don't you call me, [A] cause I can't [Am] go.
[F#] I owe my soul to [D#] the [Em] company store.

If you see me coming back, step outside.
A lot of men didn't and a [F] lot of men died.
One bit of fire, [A#] the other the steel.
[C] If the right [F#] don't get you, then the [A#] left one will.
[Fm] You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
Another day older [Dm] and deeper in debt.
