Fair warning
G 
D 
to your neighbor
For all of those who labor
At trying to make a living underground
A 
D 
Matter's not for what you're seeking
The chances are you'll weaken,
A 
D 
in time the odds will turn your life around
And the coal fields of Kentucky,
Dm 
man they say you're lucky
D 
If the black lung don't
put you underground
A 
D 
Oh, while you're swollen
with the gold lust,
you're breathing in the coarse dust
A 
Till Selly Coles has fi nally
D 
C 
G 
dragged you down
D 
Hear that cold steel a -ringin'
Dm 
D 
A 
D 
Hear them hammers swingin' low
A 
A miner's life ain't hardly worth at all
D 
Hear the Tommyknockers knockin'
G 
D 
Feel a -reelin' and a -rockin'
A 
Afraid it's gonna come in after
D

D 
For every miner who hits pay dirt
He lives to tell it, aren't there?
A thousand more
A 
are swallowed in the mire
D 
And for each de cent mining outfit
There's a hundred other misfits
who'd never planned to
A 
D 
see a man before
So when choosing your profession,
take heed and learn a lesson
From those who've lived to
A 
labor underground
D 
Cause they've got a different story,
a -mining at its glory
A 
They give it all to turn their
D 
C 
G 
life around
D 
Hear that coal still a -ringin'
A 
D 
Hear them hammers swingin' long
A 
A miner's life ain't hardly worth at all
D 
Hear the tommy knockers knockin'
G 
D 
Feel a -reelin' and a -rockin'
A 
D 
C 
Afraid it's gonna come in after all
