Intro
Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Leaving my family behind me
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Not knowing what lay ahead
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Waving goodbye, as I left them in tears
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Remembering all we'd said
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D/C[/ch
I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers
ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I asked Him for guidance and strength
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
But the simple beliefs of a simple man
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Lay in His hands, and on my head, my head

Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
I gave everything that they wanted
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
But still they wanted more
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
We sweat and we toiled
ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Good men lost their lives
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Don't think they knew what for
ch]C[/ch
I sold them my heart
ch]D/C[/ch
I sold them my soul
ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I gave everything I had
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Ah but they couldn't break my spirit
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
My dignity fought back
ch]Cadd9[/ch] [ch]Dadd9[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch] [ch]Dadd9[/ch
Fightback
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch
Can you hear me
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch] [ch]A/F#[/ch
Can you see
ch]G6[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch] [ch]G6[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch
Don't you hear me
ch]G6/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G6/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Don't you see

ch]E5[/ch] [ch]D/E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch
We worked in gangs for all we were worth
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch
The young boys pulling the wagons
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]D/E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch
We were digging the tunnels, shifting the earth
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch
It was then that it happened
ch]A5[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
No-one knew how the cracks appeared
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch
But as it fell they all disappeared
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]D/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Stone fell like rain
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch
Can you hear me
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch] [ch]A/F#[/ch
Can you see
ch]G6[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch] [ch]G6[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch
Don't you hear me
ch]G6/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G6/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Can you breathe

Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
The smoke cleared, the dust it settled
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
No one knew how many had died
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
All around there were broken men
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
They'd said it was safe, and they'd lied
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D/C[/ch
You could hear the cries, you could smell the fear
ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But good fortune that day was mine
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
And it occurred to me that the heart of a good man
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
It seems is hard to find
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch
Can you hear me
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/E[/ch] [ch]G/E[/ch] [ch]A/F#[/ch
Can you see
ch]G6[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch] [ch]G6[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch
Don't you hear me
ch]G6/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G6/A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Don't you see

Post-Chorus
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
We worked, how we worked like
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The devil for our pay
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Through the wind, through the snow
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And through the rain
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Blasting and cutting through Gods country like a knife
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Ah but I can hear my children's cry
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I can see the tears in their eyes
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Memories of those I've left behind
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Still ringing in my ears
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Will I ever go back again
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D6[/ch
Will I ever see her face again
ch]C/D[/ch] [ch]Bm/D[/ch
I'll always remember that night
ch]C/D[/ch] [ch]G/D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] [ch]Asus4[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
As they waved goodbye to their fathers
Interlude
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
We came from the North
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch
And we came from the South
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]F#m/A[/ch
With picks and with spades
ch]G[/ch
And a new kind of order
ch]A/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
ch]C#m7[/ch] [ch]A7/E[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
They'll never see the likes of us again
Post-Chorus
ch]D[/ch
Driving the last spike
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Lifting and laying the track
ch]D[/ch
With blistering hands
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the sun burning your back
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Oh but I can hear my children's cry
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I can see the tears in their eyes
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Ah memories of those I've left behind
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D6[/ch
Still ringing in my ears
ch]C/D[/ch] [ch]Bm/D[/ch
Well I'll always remember that night
ch]C/D[/ch] [ch]G/D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch] [ch]Asus4[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
As they waved goodbye to their fathers
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch
We followed the rail, we slept under the stars
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]F#m/A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Digging in darkness and living with danger
ch]A/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch
Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
ch]C#m7[/ch] [ch]A7/E[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
They'll never see the likes of us again
