          G       D/F#           Em
     Call up the captain tell em i aint comin in 
          G              D/F#               A2
    He can dig his own coal somthing esle is happening 
         G              D/F#            Em
   This living that im making is doing a sin
         A2
   Hes broken the lives of too many good men 

   Been hauling coal since i was big enough to fight 

  Some 30 odd shift with out a glimpse of daylight 

   The corporation likes to say that everythings alright 

   Dig your self a hole    get outa sight 

   Theres a dark cloud above me thats blocking out the sun 

   Burn another hundred coal listen to the engines run 

   1 half is starving while the others having fun 

 So call the captain, call the captain, call the captain, call the captiannn

  (chorus) 
    A2     D/F#     G    Bm 
        Melinda close the door
           G          D/F#       A2    Dsus2
        I aint going down to the mines today 
              Cadd9         Bm        A2
        I want' clear blue skys and whole lot more 
        G             D/F#        Em 
        I aint going down to the mines 

  (verse) 

              G            D/F#              Em 
    Theres a hole in this bucket ive been carrying around 
              G         D/F#              A2
    I fll it up to the top and watch it spill on the ground 
        G              D/F#             Em 
    I go down to the mines and when i come back up 
        A2
    I got nothin to show but the sweat on my brow 

    These hills are my own flesh and bones 

    There all that i love and there all that i know

    Please dont ask me to destroy my own home

    I'm not gonna choose between my heart and soul, soo

    Call the Captain tell him i aint coming in 

    He can dig his own coal something else is happening 

    This living that making is doing a sin 

    So call the captain, call the captain,.......call the captainnn
