C... (the closing chord of the previous song, Sentimental Johnny)

[E] xxx [A] xxx [E] xxx [B] xxx
[E] xxx [A] xxx [Am] xxxx [E] xxx

Well I w[E]orkedx on the r[A]ailroadx for t[E]wox pence a d[A]ayx
Dr[E]ankx down one p[A]enny,x the [Am] otherx I'd s[E]avex
I h[E]ammeredx and I h[A]ammered,x for G[E]odx knows how l[A]ongx
W[E]ellx into m[A]adnessx with [Am] eachx setting s[E]unx
I p[E]utx my head d[A]ownx and I dr[E]eamtx you were h[B]erex
With [E] mex by the [A] ol'x tree where [Am] noxx one could c[E]arex

[CHORUS]

Far aw[E]ayx boys, far aw[A]ayx boys, aw[E]ayx from ya n[A]owx
I'm l[E]yin'x with my sw[A]eetheart,x in her [Am] armsx I'll be f[E]oundx

Then the s[E]unx belched up[A]onx me, you were [E] nox longer h[A]erex
L[E]yin'x in your pl[A]acex was my h[Am]ammerx and my g[E]earx
So I st[E]ampedx out the f[A]irex that k[E]eptx us both w[A]armx
The [E] ashesx were f[A]allin'x like the s[Am]nowx drops of [E] oldx
We c[E]amex to a m[A]ountain,x dynam[E]itex and she'll b[B]lowx
A big h[E]olex in that r[A]ockx like the [Am] onex in my s[E]oulx

[CHORUS]

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

[CHORUS]

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

[CHORUS]

Quite simple, as all their songs tend to be. That's it for now. Enjoy it!
