Tom: G5

INTRO: G5 D5 E5 D5 C5 ../ D5 G5

( G5 )            D5                   E5                     C5
 A lie to say 'Oh, my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig
G5             D5                 C5                D5
 Five hundred men with axes and they all dig for me'

(same chords)

A lie to say 'Oh, my river where many fish do swim

Half of your catch is mine when you haul your nets in'


       C5               G5              C5          G5        D5
 Oh no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray
C5          G5           C5
No devil or redeemer will cheat him
    G5                  E5    D5    (first ending: C5  D5 G5 )
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold     

A lie to say 'Oh, my mine gave a diamond big as a fist'

But for every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed

A lie to say 'Oh, my garden is growing taller by the day'

He only eats the best and tosses the rest away

CHORUS: end with
        C5    D5           G5
         Six deep in the grave

SOLO: 
D5 D5 C5 D5

            C5                    G5   G5  C5             D5    
BRIDGE: His oldest pain      and fear in life      There'll not be time

                   (Something is out of reach, something he wanted)
            C5                    G5   G5  C5           D5   
        His oldest pain      and fear in life    There'll not be time

                   (Something is out of reach, he's being taunted)
           C5               G5  G5       C5        G5               C5
        Oh no,                          hey hey,

             (Something is out of reach,        that he can't beg or steal)
        D5          G5 (go right into verse)
        Nor can he buy

A lie to say 'Oh, my forest has trees that block the sun

And when I cut them down I don't answer to anyone'

CHORUS, then repeat chorus chords with 'La la la...'
        E5      D5       C5       D5      G5
ENDING: Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely man
