# keep the same picking pattern

E E A A E E A A
Well I worked on the railroad for two pence a day
E E A A Am Am E E
Drank down one penny, the other I'd save
E E A A E E A A
I hammered and I hammered, for God knows how long
E E A A Am Am E E
Well into madness with each setting sun
E E A A E E B B
I put my head down and I dreamt you were here
E E A A Am Am E E
With me by the ol' tree where no one could care

Chorus:

E E A A E E A A
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
E E A A Am Am E E
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart, in her arms I'll be found

E E A A E E A A
Then the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here
E E A A Am Am E E
Lyin' in your place was my hammer and my gear
E E A A E E A A
So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm
E E A A Am Am E E
The ashes were fallin' like the snow drops of old
E E A A E E B B
We came to a mountain, dynamite and she'll blow
E E A A Am Am E E
A A big hole in that rock like the one in my soul

E E A A E E A A
We buried four workmen; they dug themselves well
E E A A Am Am E E
From four empty coffins to four early graves
E E A A E E A A
They're only paddies, just paddies; don't dig them too deep
E E A A Am Am E E
You'll need all your strength, boys, they're replaced easily
E E A A E E B B
With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips
E E A A Am Am E E
Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this


CHORUS

E E A A E E A A
Someone said it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight
E E A A Am Am E E
The only thing growin' was my will to die
E E A A E E A A
Till the gaffer said “Men, your work here is done”
E E A A Am Am E E
I said “I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for”
E E A A E E B B
Never again will I smell your sweet dream
E E A A Am Am E E
But a pissed stained old gutter where your lips used to be
