Call The Captain
By Steep Canyon Rangers
Capo 4
C Cmaj9 Am
Call up the captain tell em i aint comin in
C Cmaj9 Am
He can dig his own coal somthing esle is happening
C Cmaj9 Am
This living that im making is doing us in
G
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)
Am G
Melinda close the door
C Am
I aint going down to the mines today
C G
I want' clear blue skys and whole lot more
Am
I aint going down to the mines
(verse)
C Cmaj9 Am
Theres a hole in this bucket ive been carrying around
C Cmaj9 Am
I fill it up to the top and watch it spill on the ground
C Cmaj9 Am
I go down to the mines and when i come back up
G
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 us in
So call the captain, call the captain,.......call the captainnn
(solo)
(chorus)
