Verse 1
(G major) A miner's life is like a sailor on board
a ship (C major) to cross (G major) the waves (D major)
Every day (G major) his life's (D major) in (E minor) danger,
many (A minor) ventures being brave (D major)
Watch the rocks, (G major) they're falling daily,
careless (C major) miners (G major) always fail (D major)
Keep your hand (G major) upon (D major) your (E minor) wages
and your (C major) eye (D major) upon the (G major) scale
Verse 2
Union (C major) miners, stand to (G major) gether
Do not heed the Coal Board's (D major) tales
Keep your hand (G major) upon (D major) your (E minor) wages
And your eye (G major) (D major) upon
the scale
(C major)

Verse 3
(G major) (D major)
You've been (G major) docked and docked again, boys,
you've been (A minor) loading (C major) three (G major) to one (D major)
What's the use (G major) in all (D major) your (E minor) working
when your mining (A minor) days are (D major) done?
Worn out (G major) shoes and worn out miners,
blackened (C major) lungs and faces (G major) pale
(D major) Oh keep your hand (G major) upon (D major) your (E minor) wages
and your (C major) eye (D major) upon the scale (G major)
Verse 4
Union (C major) miners, stand (G major) together
Do not heed the Coal Board's (D major) tales
Keep your hand (G major) upon (D major) your (E minor) wages
And your eye (G major) (D major) upon the scale
(C major)
Verse 5
(G major) (D major)
In con (G major) clusion, bear in memory,
keep this (C major) watchword in your mind (G major) (D major)
Worker's (G major) strength cannot (D major) be (E minor) broken
when in unions (A minor) we com (D major) bine
Stand up (G major) tall and stand together,
vic (C major) tory for you pre (G major) vails (D major)
Oh keep your hands (G major) upon (D major) your (E minor) wages and
your (C major) eye (D major) upon the scale (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 6
Union (C major) miners, stand (G major) together
Do not heed the Coal Board's (D major) tales
Keep your hand (G major) upon (D major) your (E minor) wages
And your (C major) eye (D major) upon the scale (G major)
