Devo uses a synth but to strum on guitar I do this:
Capo 3
GI'm working in a coal mine
going down down
Working in a coal mine
Fwhew I nearly slipped Ddown x2
CFive o'clock in the Gmorning
CI'm up before the Gsun
CWhen my work day is Gover
CI'm too tired for having Dfun
GI'm working in a coal mine
going down down
Working in a coal mine
Fwhew I nearly slipped Ddown
CFive o'clock in the Gmorning

CHow long must this go Gon?
GI'm working in a coal mine

Working in a coal mine
Fwhew I nearly slipped Ddown
CFive o'clock in the Gmorning
CI'm up before the Gsun
CWhen my work day is Gover
CI'm too tired for having Dfun

CHow long must this go Gon?
