   A5

[VERSE]

A5  D5  G5              A5           D5   G5
    All my life I've been digging Polish black coal
A5   D5  G5            A5           D5     G5
  It wasn't much but you know I could play that role
A5     A5    D5   D5           E5
  They laid me off and so I kept my pail
A5   D5  G5       A5         D5        G5  E5 
  And now I wade in bushes down by the rail


     [CHORUS]

     A5 F5         E5       D5
        Raider man, got no choice about it
     A5 F5         E5         D5
        Raider man, jumpin' up there on it
     A5 F5         E5       D5                A5    E5
        Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now


[VERSE]
A5      D5    G5              A5       D5   G5
   They hired me back and traded my pail for a stick
A5    D5   G5       A5          D5       G5    E5
  And now I chase the ones with a pail and a brick

 
     PLAY CHORUS 1x

     REPEAT INTRO

[VERSE]
A5   D5     G5            A5          D5  G5
   I chased my cousin, it wasn't no big deal
A5   D5  G5            A5                 D5      G5
  I lost my legs when I slipped beneath the coal train wheel
A5   A5   D5        D5       D5   E5
  My cousin tries to put something in my bowl
A5    D5  G5           A5           D5     G5   E5
  And now I wish I never left that darkened hole


[CHORUS]

     -REPEAT CHORUS-
