This is variously played by the guitar in the intro


Verse:
AmGet the rocks in the box
GGet the water right down to your socks
G                                       AmThis bulkhead's made of fallen brethren bones

AmWe all do what we can
GWe endure our fellow man
GAnd we sing our songs to the headframe's creaks and moans

Chorus:
         F                      CAnd it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
              GWhat were you meant for?
              AmWhat were you meant for?
         F                                CAnd it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line
    G                                              AmAnd if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again
    G                                              AmAnd if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again


FILL - Same as intro, but played on fiddle an octave higher


And you won't make a dime
On this gray granite mountain mine
Of dirt you're made and to dirt you will return

But while we're living here
Let's get this little one thing clear
There's plenty of men to die; you don't jump your turn

CHORUS

FILL - Fiddle again
