[Verse 1]
G
Sit by the rail
C
First cigarette
G Em D
light is coming up slowly
G C D
Down by the water the boys'll all gather
G D C
And wait for the boats to arrive

[Verse 2]
D
I swing the axe
D
I swing the hammer.
C G C D
Bury me deep in the mud and the stone
G D Em D
If the devil should want me he'll know where to find me
G D C
Somewhere between hell and the sky

[Verse 3]
G
Storms getting closer
C
Speed makes the island
G Em D
Wind is coming up slowly
G C D
So pray that the timbers will hold back the waters
G D C
Not follow me down in the mine

[Chorus]
D G
And the waves they roll
C G
We work below them
C G Em D
Blackness that's thicker than fear on a man
C G
Shoulder to shoulder
C D
Hand over hand
G D C
I'll live till the day the day that I die
Em D G
With the men who go down in the mine

[Verse 5]
G
The winds they are screaming
C
Over our heads
G C D
An army of whitecaps a-rolling
G C D
Burst through the breakers over the walls
G D C
Aworefor to take back the mine

[Chorus]
D G
And the waves they roll
C G
We work below them
C G Em D
Blackness that's thicker than fear on a man
C G
Shoulder to shoulder
C D
Hand over hand
G D C
I'll live till the day the day that I die
Em D G
With the men who go down in the mine

[Verse 6]
G
Cold on the harbor
C
Storm in the distance
G Em D
The lights are going out slowly
G C D
I stand by the rail hands in my pockets
G D C
And wait for the stars to arrive

[Verse 7]
D
I swing the ax
D
I swing the hammer
C G C D
stand with my brothers in blood and in bone
G D Em D
I may not see heaven but I've been to hell
G D C
It's a thousand feet down in the mine

[Chorus]
D G
And the waves they roll
C G
We work below them
C G Em D
Blackness that's thicker than fear on a man
C G
Shoulder to shoulder
C D
Hand over hand
G D C
I'll live till the day the day that I die
Em D G
With the men who go down in the mine

G D Em D G D C

[Outro]
G D G Em
And we climb out together or no man at all
