[A] As a working man I am I've [D] been down underground
[A] And I swear to God if I ever see the [E] sun
All [A] for any length of time I [D] hold it in my [A] mind
I never again [E] will go down [A] underground
At the age of sixty years [D] My father closed the [A] tears
But he'd never send another [E] son To [A] the dark recess of the minds
Where [D] you age before your [A] time And the coal dust [E] lies heavy on [A] your lungs
As a working man I am [D] I've been down [A] underground
And I swear to God if I ever see [E] the sun
[A] All for any length of time I [D] hold it in my [A] mind
I never again [E] will go down [A] underground
At the age of sixty-five I [D] pray God I'll be still [A] alive
And the wheel of the mind no [E] longer turns
[A] Let's finally close the hole [D] Where years we'd fought [A] for coal
And I never again [E] will go down
[D] underground
[C] [G] As [C] a working man [F] I've been down [C] underground

As a working man [F] I've been down [C] underground
