A D Dm A
[Verse]
A D A D
Well I worked on the railroad for two pence a day
A D Dm A
Drank down one penny, the other I’d save
A D A D
I hammered and I hammered, for God knows how long
A D Dm A
Well into madness with each setting sun
A D A E
I put my head down and I dreamt you were here
A D Dm A
With me by the ol’ tree where no one could care
[Chorus]
A D A D
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
A D Dm A
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
[Verse]
A D A D
Then the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here
A D Dm A
Lyin’ in your place was my hammer and my gear
A D A D
So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm
A D Dm A
The ashes were fallin’ like the snow drops of old
A D A E
We came to a mountain, dynamite and she’ll blow
A D Dm A
D big hole in that rock like the one in my soul
[Solo]

[Chorus]
A D A D
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
A D Dm A
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
[Verse]
A D A D
We buried four workmen; they dug themselves well
A D Dm A
From four empty coffins to four early graves
A D A D
They’re only paddies, just paddies; don’t dig them too deep
A D Dm A
You’ll need all your strength, boys, and they’re replaced easily
A D A E
With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips
A D Dm A
Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this
[Chorus]
A D A D
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
A D Dm A
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
[Verse]
A D A D
Someone said it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight
A D Dm A
The only thing growin’ was my will to die
A D A D
Till the gaffer said “Men, your work here is done”
A D Dm A
I said “I’ll see you in Hell, on that train we died for”
A D A E
Never again will I smell your sweet dream
A D Dm A
But a pissed stained old gutter where your lips used to be
[Chorus]
A D A D
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
A D Dm A
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
