[Fm] [Ab]

[Cm] [Fm]
[Cm]
[F] From all of you [Fm] colliers who work [Eb] down the mines
[F] From Scotland to South Wales, [Db] from [Cm] Teesdale to [Fm] Tyne
I'll sing you a song of a pound a week [Eb] rise
And [Fm] the men who were fooled by the [Eb] government's lie
[F] It's down you go, down below [Ab] Jack
You'll never [Cm] see the sky [F] and you're working [Eb] in a dungeon
[Bb] For a pound [Fm] a week rise
Going to 19 and 10, [Ab] it was a [D] few [Eb] years [Fm] ago
Mine workers, heaters to North Oldham to [Eb] go
[Fm] Jane, you work very hard and every day we risk our [Eb] lives
[F] We ask you here and now [Db] for a pound [Cm] a week [F] rise
It's down you go, down below [Ab] Jack
You'll never [Cm] see the sky [Fm] and you're working in a [Eb] [Fm] dungeon
For a pound a week rise
[Gm]
[Fm] Some spoke Lord Robins, he made [Eb] us the Queen
[F] And when the outpour rises, [Db] much as I would [Cm] agree
[Fm] To raise up all of your wages and to give to you [Cm] for play
[F] I was once a miner, [Ab] I'm a pirate [Eb] in my day
[Fm] And it's down you go, down below [Ab] Jack
You'll never [Cm] see the sky and [Bbm] you're working in [Cm] a dungeon
For a pound [Fm] a week rise
Those miners, they went on, they worked [Cm] hard and well
[F] Their lungs filled with cold, a [Db] snubble some [Cm] of hell
[F] The output rose by [Ab] 15, 18 percent and more
[Fm] And when two years had passed and God had blowed above [Eb] the score
And [Bbm] it's [Cm] down you go, down below [Db] Jack
You'll never see [Cm] the sky and [Fm] you're working in a [Eb] dungeon
For a [Bb] pound [Fm] a week rise
[Ab] Those [Eb]
[Fm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Db]
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
[Bb] [Fm]
miners, they went to get their hard-won prize
Asking Lord Robins for their [Cm] pound a week [Fm] rise
Robins wouldn't give a [Ab] pound, he wouldn't give ten [Eb] bob
[F] He gave them seven and six and [Bbm] said, get [Fm] back to your [Eb] job
And [Bbm] it's down [Cm] you go, down below [Db] Jack
You'll never see [Cm] the sky [Fm] and you're working in a [Eb] dungeon
[Bb] For a [Fm] pound a week rise
So [Cm] [Gm]
[F] to all of you colliers, take heed what I say
Don't believe the cold board when they say they'll [Fm] fair play
They'll tell you to work hard to make the output rise
You'll get pie [Eb] in the [Fm] sky
[Bb] [F] For a pound a week rise
[Fm] And it's down you [Cm] go, down below Jack
[Db] You'll [Cm] never see the sky and [Fm] you're working in a [Eb] [Bb] dungeon
For [Fm] a pound a week rise
[Bbm] And it's down you [Cm] go, down below [Db] Jack
You'll never [Cm] see the sky and [F] you're working [Eb]
in [Bb] a dungeon
[Fm] For a pound a week rise
