Coal Not Dole chords by
Oysterband
Oysterband

N/A
Verse 1
D

I'll sing you a very, very

quiet one.

This is from a woman called

Kay

Sutcliffe, who lives in a village called

Elsham in

Kent.

And she wrote this when

two pits in the

Kent coal field closed and

they just shut the other one.

So this is for her and them down

there.

It's called

Call

Not

Dull.

It stands so proud, the wheel so still

A ghost -like figure on the hill

it seems so strange there is no sound now

there are no man on the ground what

it will become of this petty yard when man once trampled

face his heart tired

don't know whether she's done

Never having seen the sun

Will it become our sacred ground

Foreign tourists gazing round
Bm

Asking if man once worked here
D

Way beneath the pitted gear

Empty trucks once filled with coal,

lined up like men on the dole

Will they ever be used again,

or left for scrap just like the men?

There'll always be a happy hour

For those with the money, jobs

and power

They'll never realise the hurt
Eb
D

They cause to men they treat like dirt

There'll always be a happy hour

For those with the money,

jobs and power

They'll never realise the hurt

They cause to men they treat like dirt

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
