[Intro]
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am
[Verse 1]
Am Em G Am
A mine’s a lousy place to work and worse to call a home
Am Em G Am
Fills your lungs with coal and damp and tears you skin from bone
C G Dm C Am
The bosses they care not for you or your life
Am Em G Am
They’ll steal the shirt right off your back and replace it with a knife
[Chorus]
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The pick won’t lift itself and there’s debts that you still owe
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The boss is comin’ with his men to send you down below
[Verse 2]
Am Em G Am
The miners up in Lancashire they’d suffered all they would
Am Em G Am
One man rose to lead them all and see their fate withstood
C G Dm C Am
A self-made man in every sense, whose name he chose as Wade
Am Em G Am
Stood with his fellow miners as they threw down axe and spade
[Chorus]
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The pick won’t lift itself and there’s debts that you still owe
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The boss is comin’ with his men to send you down below
[Verse 3]
Am Em G Am
The agent came with Overmen by twenty and by four
Am Em G Am
The kind who didn’t care if miners lost a hand or more
C G Dm C Am
They stormed the yard with pistols drawn on the miners unified
Am Em G Am
And there Wade to agent said “Either you or I must die”
[Chorus]
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The pick won’t lift itself and there’s debts that you still owe
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The boss is comin’ with his men to send you down below
[Verse 4]
Am Em G Am
Now Wade had forced that agent’s hand, to duty he was bound
Am Em G Am
They stood at pace with metal men and miners gathered round
C G Dm C Am
Their pistols blew, and powder flew, and both men drew their last
Am Em G Am
And the name of Wade will e’er be sung, when we hold the line steadfast
[Chorus]
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The pick won’t lift itself and there’s debts that you still owe
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The boss is comin’ with his men to send you down below
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The pick won’t lift itself and there’s debts that you still owe
Am Em Am C Am
Down you go, you dusty miner, go
Am Em Am C Am
The boss is comin’ with his men to send you down below
