To help his father break away

from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain

They made him shoot their coal
Dm F
and he was grateful at the time
Am C
but there was many a boy who had done
Dm Am
the same and they never came out alive
[Corus]

Dm F

Am C
Cause this ain't no kind of life
Dm F
that a young man should live
Am
If you can run faster than
C Dm Am
gunpowder burns you might see the light again

Dm F C Am
He hates the thought of mama crying...
