Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
G 
Well, I worked on a railroad,
D 
G 
for tuppins a day
D 
G 
I drank down one penny,
Gm 
D 
the other I'd save
G 
I hammered my hammer,
D 
G 
for God knows how long
D 
G 
Gm 
D 
Well, into madness, with each setting sun
G 
I put my hair down,
D 
A 
and I dreamt you were here
D 
G 
With me by the old tree,
Gm 
D 
where no one could care

Verse 2

Far away boys, far away boys,

away from you now

I'm lying with my sweetheart,

in her arm's I'll be found

Verse 3
D 
G 
Then the sun belched upon me,
D 
G 
you were no longer here
D 
G 
Gm 
Lying in you place was my
D 
hammer and my gear
G 
So I stamped out the fire
D 
G 
that kept  us both warm
D 
G 
The ashes were falling,
Gm 
D 
like the snowdrops of old
G 
We came to a mountain,
D 
A 
dynamite and she'll blow
D 
G 
A big hole in that rock,
Gm 
like the one in my soul

Interlude 1

Verse 4
D 
G 
We burried four workmen,
D 
G 
they dug themselves well
D 
G 
From four empty coffins,
Gm 
D 
to four early graves
G 
"They're only paddies just paddies,
D 
G 
don't dig them too deep
D 
G 
You'll need all your strength boys,
Gm 
D 
they're replaced easily"
G 
With the heat I was melting
D 
A 
into your sweet lips
D 
G 
Ah, your kiss takes me back,
Gm 
D 
takes me back from all this

Verse 5

Far away boys, far away boys,

away from you now

I'm lying with my sweetheart,

in her arm's I'll be found

Verse 6
D 
G 
Someone said it was Christmas,
D 
G 
not a tree was in sight
D 
G 
The only thing growing
Gm 
D 
was my will to die
G 
'Till the gaffer said "Men,
D 
G 
your work here is done"
D 
G 
He said "I'll see you in hell,
Gm 
D 
on that train we died for"
G 
D 
A 
Never again, will I smell your sweet drink
D 
G 
But a piss-stained old old gutter where,
Gm 
D 
your lips used to be
