16 Tons Chords & Lyrics - Robbie Williams

[Fm]Some people say a man is made outta mud
[Fm]A poor man's[Eb] made outta [Db]muscle and b[C7]lood
[Fm]Muscle and b[Eb]lood and ski[Db]n and bones [C7]
[Fm]A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[Fm]You load six[Eb]teen tons, w[Db]hat do you g[C7]et
[Fm]Another day [Eb]older and de[Db]eper in debt[C7]
[Fm]Saint Peter [Eb]don't you ca[Db]ll me 'cause[C7] I can't go
[Fm]I owe my soul to the company store

[Fm]I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
[Fm]I picked up [Eb]my shovel an[Db]d I walked t[C7]o the mine
[Fm]I loaded six[Eb]teen tons of[Db] number nine[C7] coal
[Fm]And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

[Fm]You load six[Eb]teen tons, w[Db]hat do you g[C7]et
[Fm]Another day [Eb]older and de[Db]eper in debt[C7]
[Fm]Saint Peter [Eb]don't you ca[Db]ll me 'cause[C7] I can't go
[Fm]I owe my soul to the company store

[Fm]I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
[Fm]Fightin' and[Eb] trouble are[Db] my middle n[C7]ame
[Fm]I was raised[Eb] in the cane[Db]brake by an [C7]ol' mama lion
[Fm]Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[Fm]You load six[Eb]teen tons, w[Db]hat do you g[C7]et
[Fm]Another day [Eb]older and de[Db]eper in debt[C7]
[Fm]Saint Peter [Eb]don't you ca[Db]ll me 'cause[C7] I can't go
[Fm]I owe my soul to the company store

[Fm]If you see me comin', better step a side
[Fm]A lotta men [Eb]didn't, a lo[Db]tta men died[C7]
[Fm]One fist of [Eb]iron, the ot[Db]her of steel[C7]
[Fm]If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will

[Fm]You load six[Eb]teen tons, w[Db]hat do you g[C7]et
[Fm]Another day [Eb]older and de[Db]eper in debt[C7]
[Fm]Saint Peter [Eb]don't you ca[Db]ll me 'cause[C7] I can't go
[Fm]I owe my soul to[C7] the company s[Fm]tore
