Intro

G   Cadd9   Em7   C Dadd9

G                   Cadd9
who'll replace this old miner
Em7               Asus4/F#
who will take my place below?
G                   Cadd9
who will follow the trepanner,
Em7      C           Dadd9
Oh dear God, when I go?



Cadd9               Dadd9 A7Sus4
Who will wield my heavy pick
Cadd9                Dadd9 A7Sus4
That I did wield for forty years
Em7                   Dadd9       A7Sus4
And who will hew the black, black coal,
Cadd9            G   Cadd9  Em7  Cadd9
Dear God, when I go?


G                 Cadd9
who will ride the miners' train
Em7                    Asus4/F#
That takes him to the dark coal face
G                    Cadd
Who'll take my place upon that train,
Em7      C           Dadd9
Oh dear God, when I go?


Cadd9                  Dadd9  A7Sus4
And who will load this iron top
Cadd9                   Dadd9   A7Sus4
And who will strain his bending back
Em7                    Dadd9    A7Sus4
And who will work and ache like hell,
Cadd9               G    Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Oh dear God, when I go?

G    Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9

G    Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
G    Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
G                     Cadd9
who will cry when the roof caves in
Em7                   Asus4/F#
When friends are dying all around?
G                     Cadd9
And who will sing the miner's hymn,
Em7      C           D
Oh dear God, when I go?


Cadd9                Dadd9     A7Sus4
For forty years I've loved the mine
Cadd9                Dadd9       A7Sus4
For forty years I've worked down there
Em7                     Dadd9  A7Sus4
Now who'll replace this old miner
Em7     C         Dadd9
Oh dear God, when I go?


Cadd9                   Dadd9 A7Sus4
and who will wield my heavy pick
Cadd9                Dadd9  A7Sus4
That I did wield for forty years
Em7                  Dadd9   A7Sus4
And who will hew the black, black coal,
     C           G    Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
dear God, when I go?

G    Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
