When it's daylight on the townsite

and midnight a way down under,
      A                       
I can hear the shift boss say, 
                      E
"She's a muckin' out well."
     D                    A    
With hard hats, boots and oilers 
        D                A
we're off to scale the stoke, boys.
D                      A         
Goodbye, town, we're a-goin' down
        E                   A
 to the belly of a man-made hell.
