[C] [Am] [E] [B]
[E] [A] [Am] [E]
Well, I worked on [A] the railroad [E] for tupins [A] a day,
[E] Drank down [A] one penny, [Am] the other [E] exiled.
I [A] hammered and I [E] hammered for God [A] knows how long,
[E] Well [A] into madness [Am] with each [E] setting sun.
I put my [A] head down [E] and I dreamt [B] you were here,
[E] With me [A] by the old [Am] tree where no [E] one could care.
Far away boys, [A] far away [E] boys, away from [A] you now,
[E] I'm lying with [A] my [Am] sweetheart, her arms [E] I'll be found.
Then the sun belched [A] upon [E] me, you were no [A] longer here,
[E] Lying in [A] your place [Am] was my hammer [E] and my gear.
So I stamped [A] out the fire [E] that kept [A] us both warm,
[E] The ashes [A] were falling [Am] like the [E] snowdrops of owl.
We came [A] to a mountain [E] dynamite [B] and shelled below,
[E] A big hole [A] in that rock [Am] like the one in [E] my soul.
[A] [E] [B]
[E] [A] [Am] [E]
We buried [A] four workmen, [E] they dug [A] themselves a well,
[E] From four [A] empty coffins [Am] to four [E] early graves.
They're only paddies, [A] just paddies, [E] don't dig them [A] too deep,
[E] You'll need [A] all your strength boys, [Am] they're replaced [E] easily.
With the heat I [A] was melting [E] into your [B] sweet lips,
[E] Ah, your kiss takes [A] me back, [Am] takes me back from [E] all this.
Far away [A] boys, far away boys, [E] away from [A] you now,
[E] I'm lying [A] with my sweetheart, [Am] her arms [E] I'll be found.
Someone said [A] it was Christmas, [E] but not a tree [A] was in sight,
[E] The only [A] thing growing [Am] was my [E] will to die.
Till the gaffer [A] said, men, [E] your work [A] here is done,
[E] Said I'll see [A] you in hell [Am] on that train [E] we died for.
Never [A] again [E] will I smell your [B] sweet [E] dream,
But a piss-stained [A] old gutter where [Am] your lips [E] used to be.
