Sixteen Tons

[First Part]

F#m
Some people say man is made out of 
mud
  F#m
A poor man's made outta muscle and 
blood
F#m                  Bm
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
             C#                    
You've got a mind that's a-weak and
   F#m
 a back that's strong

[Chorus]

         F#m                     
You load sixteen tons and what do 
     C#
you get
 F#m                            C#
Another day older and deeper in debt
      F#m                          
Saint Peter don't you call me 
  Bm
'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store
      F#m
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause
 I can't go
      F#m                          
Saint Peter don't you call me to 
  D       C#
the company store
      F#m                          
Saint Peter don't you call me 
  Bm
'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

Come on

      F#m       E                
I was born on a mornin' when the 
D          C#
sun didn't shine
Continues after the ad
  F#m          E            D    
I picked up my shovel and I 
         C#
walked to the mine
         F#m     A       Bm
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine
 coal
        F#m              N.C
And the store-boss said "Well-a 
bless my soul"

   Bm
'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

[Third Part]

      F#m      E             
I was born one mornin', in the 
  D         C#
drizzlin' rain
F#m          E                 D
Fightin' and trouble have been 
         C#
my middle name
      F#m           A             
I was raised in the cane-brake by 
   Bm
an old mama lion
            C#m                    
Cain't no a high-tone woman make me
 C#7

If you see me comin', better step 
  D#

  G#m        F#       E          
A lot of men didn't a lot of men 
D#
died
    G#m     B             C#m
One fist of iron, and the other of 
steel
       D#m                         
If the left don't gotcha, then the 
D#7
right one will you load

Sixteen tons (what do you get?)
