[F]
It's a work and then I am, and [Bb] I've been down [F] underground.
[Bb]
[F] And I swear to God, if I ever see [C] the sun, [F] or for an e'en thought I'm,
[Bb] I can hold it [F] in my mind, [Bb]
[F] I never am with [C] God down
[F] underground.
[Bb] [F]
At the age of sixteen years, [Bb] only for us [F] with his peace,
[Bb]
[F] Move out, then I see [C] another one, [F] in the dark recess of the minds,
[Bb] Where you age before [F] you die, [Bb]
[F] and the cold just [C] lies heavy [F] on your [Bb] lungs.
[F]
It's a work and then I am, [Bb] and I've been down [F] underground.
And I swear to God, if I ever see [C] the sun, [F] or for an e'en thought I'm,
[Bb] I can hold it in [F] my mind, [Bb]
[F] I never am [C]
[F] [Bb] [F]
with God down underground.
At the age of sixty-four, [Bb] only a creaking [F] at the door,
And he'll gently lead you [C] by the eye, [F] through the dark recess of the minds,
[Bb] Oh, he'll take you [F] back in time, [Bb]
[F] and he'll tell you all [C] the hardships [F] that were [Bb] ahead.
[F]
It's a work and then I am, [Bb] and I've been down [F] underground.
[Bb] And [F] I swear to God, if I ever see [C] the sun, [F] or for an e'en thought I'm,
[Bb] I can hold it in [F] my mind, I never again will [C]
[F] underground.
