[Intro]
Em D Em D
[Verse 1]
Em D A
Come all you colliers who work down the mines
Em G A
From Scotland to South Wales, from Teesdale to Tyne
Em D A
I'll sing you a song of a pound a week rise
Em G A
And the men who were fooled by the government's lies
[Chorus]
Em
And it's down you go, down below, Jack
D A
Where y'never see the sky
Em
And you're workin' in a dungeon
G A
For a pound a week rise
[Verse 2]
Em D A
Now in nineteen and sixty, just a few years ago
Em G A
The mineworkers' leaders to Lord Robens did go
Em D A
"We work very hard and every day we risk our lives
Em G A
We ask you here and now for a pound a week rise. "
[Chorus]
Em
And it's down you go, down below, Jack
D A
Where y'never see the sky
Em
And you're workin' in a dungeon
G A
For a pound a week rise
[Verse 3]
Em D A
And it's up spoke Lord Robens he made this decree
Em G A
"Now when the output rises, then with you I will agree
Em D A
To raise up all your wages and to give to you fair play
Em G A
I was once a miner, I worked hard in my day"
[Chorus]
Em
And it's down you go, down below, Jack
D A
Where y'never see the sky
Em
And you're workin' in a dungeon
G A
For a pound a week rise
[Verse 4]
Em D A
Those miners they went home, they worked hard and well
Em G A
Their lungs filled with coal dust in the bosom of hell
Em D A
The output rose by fifteen, eighteen percent and more
Em G A
And when two years had passed and gone it rose above a score
[Chorus]
Em
And it's down you go, down below, Jack
D A
Where y'never see the sky
Em
And you're workin' in a dungeon
G A
For a pound a week rise
[Solo]
A Em G A
Em D
Em D
Em D A
[Verse 5]
Em D A
Those miners they went for to get their hard-won prize
Em G A
To ask Lord Robens for a pound a week rise
Em D A
Robens wouldn't give a pound he wouldn't give ten bob
Em G A
He gave 'em seven and six and said "Get back to your jobs"
[Chorus]
Em
And it's down you go, down below, Jack
D A
Where y'never see the sky
Em
And you're workin' in a dungeon
G A
For a pound a week rise
[Verse 6]
Em D A
So come all you colliers, take heed what I say
Em G A
Don't believe the Coal Board when they'll say they'll give fair play
Em D A
They'll tell you to work hard to make the output rise
Em G A
You'll get pie in the sky instead of a one pound rise
[Chorus]
Em
And it's down you go, down below, Jack
D A
Where y'never see the sky
Em
And you're workin' in a dungeon
G A
For a pound a week rise
[Chorus]
Em
And it's down you go, down below, Jack
D A
Where y'never see the sky
Em
And you're workin' in a dungeon
G A
For a pound a week rise
[Outro]
Em D A
Em G A
Em D
Em D
etc.
