Am C G
We get the rocks in the box, get the water right down to your socks
Em Am
This bulkheads built of fallen brethren bones
Am C G
We all do what we can, we endure our fellow man

And we sing our songs to the headframes' creaks and moans
[Chorus 1]
F C
And it's one, two, three, on the wrong side of the lee
G Am
What were you meant for, what were you meant for
F C
And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

And you won't make a dime on this gray granite mountain mine

There's plenty of men to die, don't jump your turn
