[Verse]

/C7
Well I've been  workin' in a coal mine,

Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine,

Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

/G                                /
Five o'clock in the mornin',  I'm up before the sun,

/                              /                           C7C7 Piano Chord 

When my work day is over,  I'm too tired for havin' fun....

/C7
I've been workin' in a coal mine,

Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine,

Goin' down, down;

/
Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

/    /                 /
Lord,    I am so  tired

/
How long can this go on? .....

[repeat verse]

[Ending]
/                 /
I've been a workin',  goin',  workin',  [WHOOP!]

about to slip down,

/                 /
workin',  goin',  workin'  [WHOOP!]    about to slip down
