raised my Gfamily on cold dust and Dbeans. D G C* Em That old black lung's got me, no life left in me, Am hang my Glantern in the Amwindow, give my Clove to MaGrie.
[Verse 2] G C* G G For twenty-five years I've worked in the mines, G G* D D where the earth is as black as a cold winter's night. G C* Em There's millions in the ground, not a penny for me,
Am hang my Glantern in the Amwindow, give my Clove to MaGrie. G [Verse 3] G C* G* G I've loved all my children, six sons of mine, I pray that they Gnever have to work in the Dmine. D G C* Em For the black lung will get them, they'll die just like me, Am hang my Glantern in the Amwindow, give my Clove to MaGrie.
[Interlude] G C* G* G G D D G C* Em Am G Am C G G G* [Verse 4] G C* G There's frost on the ground, ice in the trees,
the Gair is so heavy I can't hardly Dbreathe. D G C* Em For the old black lung's got me and soon I'll be free, Am hang my Glantern in the Amwindow, give my Clove to GMarie, hang my Glantern in the Amwindow, give my Clove to MaGrie. G
