Am  Am  Am  Am
Am  Am  G   Am
Am  Am  G   Am  Am
[Verse 1]
  AmSeven years a miner, I'll mine for seven more
No Gbetter man on earth now to Ammove the mountain floor
So Amload us in that chippy that drops down every day
No Gbraver men on Earth boys no Ammatter what they say
[Chorus 1]
So, tell GGod and the Fdevil they can   Amtry
But toFday's not gonna Ebe the day we Amdie
[Verse 2]
Don't Amwant to see those helmet men come to carry you
The Gground so cold and hard above they won't Ameven bury you
So Amtap tap tap her lightly, as lightly as she goes
You Gbetter take some cover now and Amhide before she blows
[Chorus 2]
GGet those picks and Fshovels off your Ambacks
Get the Frocks into the Ebox and down the Amtracks
[Link 1]
Am  Am  G  Am
[Verse 3]
There's Cmuckers G/Band there's Amskinners and Cnippers G/Bon the Amdrill
They'll Gwork all day and night boys, as Amonly miners will
We'll Amchase rebellious copper, the walls you pick and hack
Don't Gworry if you're diggin' scared, us Amminers got your back
[Chorus 3]
So, tell GGod and the Fdevil they can   Amtry
But toFday's not gonna Ebe the day we Amdie
[Link 2]
Am  F   Am  G
Am  F   Am  C Em

[Verse 4]
AmThe Gods don't venture down here, the Devil's lost your name
Your Glife hangs in the balance on this Amfragile human chain
Then Amwhen your spirit's waning, the fear is yours to tame
When you Gfeel the darkness closing, turn Amup your carbon flame
[Chorus 4]
So, tell GGod and the Fdevil they can   Amtry
But toFday's not gonna Ebe the day we Amdie
So, tell GGod and the Fdevil they can   Amtry
But toFday's not gonna Ebe the day we Amdie
