Working Man [C]
Celtic Thunder
[Chorus]
|It’s a [C] working man l am
|And I’ve [F] been down under [C] ground
|And I swear to God if ever see the [G] sun
|Or for [C] any length of time
|I can [F] hold it in my [C] mind
|I never again will [G] go down under [C] ground
At the [C] age of sixteen years
Oh he [F] quarrels with his [C] peers
Who vowed they’d never see another [G] one
In the [C] dark recess of the mines
Where you [F] age before your [C] time
And the coal dust lies [G] heavy on your [C] lungs
[Chorus]
|It’s a [C] working man l am
|And I’ve [F] been down under [C] ground
|And I swear to God if ever see the [G] sun
|Or for [C] any length of time
|I can [F] hold it in my [C] mind
|I never again will [G] go down under [C] ground
At the [C] age of sixty-four
Oh he'll [F] greet you at the [C] door
And he'll gently lead you by the [G] arm
Through the [C] dark recess of the mines
Oh he'll [F] take you back in [C] time
And he'll tell you of the [G] hardships that were [C] had
