Chords for The Platters - Sixteen Tons - Lyrics

[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ People say a man is made out of [D] mud, [Gm] a poor man is made out of muscle and blood, muscle
and [A] blood, skin and bone, [Gm] a [D] mind that's weak [C#] and a back that's [D] drunk, [Gm] you've seen skin

[C] _ [G] and one of [D] you [Gm] can, another day older and deeper in sin, me then don't you call me
because I can do, I owe my [A] suit to the company's Joe.
[G] _ _
I was born one morning _ _ when the sun didn't [F#m] [Gm] shine, I picked up a shovel and walked to
A lot of men killed and a lot of men died, I want this to mine.
[A] The others still left the [D] ride, you know who'll get you,
They'll all laugh at what we [Gm] do.
Say it's too done, and what are you getting?
Another day for the land, deeper in debt.
Say, Peter, don't you call me, [A] cause I can't go.
[Gm] I owe my suit to the company store. _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] I [Gm] was born one morning and it was just a dream.
A bison, a marauder, a man of fame.
I was raised in a king's reign.
[A] I know my own line, you know how to [C#]
[Gm] make me.
Walk the line, you'll see it's too done, and what are you getting?
Another day for the land, deeper in debt.
Say, Peter, don't you call me, [A] cause I can't go.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ I owe my _ suit _ [D] _ _ _
to _ _ the company store.
