    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
Am
We're breaking rocks in the midday sun
       F                         E
And we sweat and strain till our work is done
          Am
And we're bound at the ankle by a ball and chain
  F                      E                Am
A hammer in our hand and Sin's its name.

[Verse 2]

Am
Bitter is the harvest that the sinner sows,
    F                        E
I'm going down Moses and I'm going down slow,
  Am
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
  F                      E                   Am
A band of angels saying "Set the boy free."

[Chorus]
C                          G                 Am
Up in the morning when the black cock crows
C                   G                Am
Swing that pick and haul that load.

[Verse 3]
Am
Satan don't sleep nor his strong right hand
    F                             E
Our backs bear its mark, it's the devil's brand,
       Am
And we say, "Hey Satan, won't you cut some slack?"
       F                         E                 Am
And he says "Sorry boys" and the whip goes crack.

[Chorus]
C                          G                 Am
Up in the morning when the black cock crows
C                   G                Am
Swing that pick and haul that load.

[Instrumental]
E - E - Am - Am - E - E - Am - Am

[Verse 4]
Am
Satan he walks just like a man
          F                     E
And he'll take you down, if you give him your hand
     Am
Have mercy on me, can't you hear me lord,
     F                        E               Am
Send down your angel with the flaming sword.

[Chorus]
C                          G                Am
Up in the morning when the black cock crows
C                   G                Am
Swing that pick and haul that load.
C                          G                Am
Up in the morning when the black cock crows
C                   G                Am
Swing that pick and haul that load.

[Instrumental]
Am - Am - F - E - Am - Am - F - E - Am - Am
C - G - Am - Am - C - G - Am - Am

[Verse 5]
Am
The road we're laying is long and straight
      F                         E
Every day leads us further from heaven's gate
       Am
And we say "Hey Satan, won't you cut us some slack?"
        F                      E                 Am
But the whip goes crack right across our backs.

[Chorus]
C                          G                Am
Up in the morning when the black cock crows
C                   G                Am
Swing that pick and haul that load.
C                          G                Am
Up in the morning when the black cock crows
C                   G                Am
Swing that pick and haul that load.
