G5   C5   E5   C5 D5

G5                   C5
who'll replace this old miner
E5               A5
who will take my place below?
G5                   C5
who will follow the trepanner,
E5      C5           D5
Oh dear God, when I go?



C5               D5 A5
Who will wield my heavy pick
C5                D5 A5
That I did wield for forty years
E5                   D5       A5
And who will hew the black, black coal,
C5            G5   C5  E5  C5
Dear God, when I go?


G5                 C5
who will ride the miners' train
E5                    A5
That takes him to the dark coal face
G5                    Cadd
Who'll take my place upon that train,
E5      C5           D5
Oh dear God, when I go?


C5                  D5  A5
And who will load this iron top
C5                   D5   A5
And who will strain his bending back
E5                    D5    A5
And who will work and ache like hell,
C5               G5    C5 E5 C5
Oh dear God, when I go?

G5    C5 E5 C5

G5    C5 E5 C5
G5    C5 E5 C5
G5                     C5
who will cry when the roof caves in
E5                   A5
When friends are dying all around?
G5                     C5
And who will sing the miner's hymn,
E5      C5           D5
Oh dear God, when I go?


C5                D5     A5
For forty years I've loved the mine
C5                D5       A5
For forty years I've worked down there
E5                     D5  A5
Now who'll replace this old miner
E5     C5         D5
Oh dear God, when I go?


C5                   D5 A5
and who will wield my heavy pick
C5                D5  A5
That I did wield for forty years
E5                  D5   A5
And who will hew the black, black coal,
     C5           G5    C5 E5 C5
dear God, when I go?

G5    C5 E5 C5
G5    C5 E5 C5
G5    C5 E5 C5
G5    C5 E5 C5
