## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C on the A-string. ##
## Alternatively, play G/B. ##
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] C ~ F C ~ F C ~ F
[VERSE 1:]
N.C. C ~ C F
This city is built on a heart made of coal
C G F
And for years it's been eaten away
C ~ C F
And the first thing I noticed when I came to this place
C G C
Is the earth moved a little each day
[VERSE 2:]
F C G
There were cracks in the buildings and the windows askew
F C F G
Great rods of steel and the buildings run through
C ~ C F
This city is somehow a little like you
C G F
Not trusted to stay the same way
[CHORUS:]
C G
Away from the pits I'll be bound
F C F G
Away from the pits I'll be bound___
C ~ C F
This city is somehow a little like you
C G F
Away from the pits I'll be bound
[VERSE 3:]
N.C. C ~ C F
Oh, the miners crawl onwards, they've a living to make
C G F
I don't envy them troubles, their pain
C ~ C F
For the coal it's a demon, it's a devil to break
C G C
And the damage it's done anyway
[VERSE 4:]
F C G
Like rats they must gnaw at the core of the lands
F C F G
Their homes they must destroy with their very own hands
C ~ C F
And just like our love, it is built upon sand
C G F
When you left me for him yesterday
[CHORUS:]
C G
Away from the pits I'll be bound
F C F G
Away from the pits I'll be bound___
C ~ C F
This city is somehow a little like you
C G F
Away from the pits I'll be bound
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C ~ C F C G F C ~ C F C G C
F C G F C F G C ~ Am F C G F
[VERSE 5:]
N.C. ~ C F
I'm gonna leave this coal city, it's fickle and false
C G F
I'm gonna head out for more solid ground
C ~ C F
'Cause it bores the folk in this place, unlike you
C G C
Then here I can no longer be found
[VERSE 6:]
F C G
Perhaps I'll head westward and go for the sea
F C F G
Even though I'm sure a rough mistress she'd be
C ~ C F
But her heart would be firmer than your love for me
C G F
Away from the pits I'll be bound
[CHORUS:]
C G
Away from the pits I'll be bound
F C F G
Away from the pits I'll be bound___
C ~ C F
