(A) G
Snow laying all around
A collier cycles home
From his night shift undergrD/Aound A
Past the silent pub
Primary school, workingmens club Em
On the road from the pithead
The churchyard pGacked
With mining dD/Aead
D
Then beneath the bridge
He comes to a giant car
A shrGoud of snow upon the roof
A mark ten jaguDar A
He thought the man was fast asleep
Silent, still and deep Em
Both dead and cold
ShD/F#ot thrGough
With bullet hDoles
GMaj7
The one armed bandit man G6
Came north to fill his boots D
Came up from cockneyland
E-type jags and flashy suits GMaj7
Put your money in
PG6ull the levers
Watch them spin D
Cash cows in all the pubs
But he preferred the new nightclubs
A
Nineteen sixty-seven
Bandit men in birdcage heaven Bm
La dolce vita, sixty-nine
All nGew to people of the Tyne D A
D
Who knows who did what
Somebody made a call
They sGaid his hands
Were in the pot
That he'd been skimming hDauls A
He picks up the swag
They gaily gave away Em
Drives his giant jag
D/F#Off tGo his big pay dDay
GMaj7
Oh the bandit man G6
Came north to fill his boots D
Came up from cockneyland
E-type jags and flashy suits GMaj7
The bandit man G6
Came up the great north road D
Up to geordieland
To mine
The mother lode

D
Seams blew up or cracked
Black diamonds came hard won G
Generations toiled and hacked
For a pittance and black lDung A
Crushed by tub or stone
Together
And alone Em
How the young and old
Paid thD/F#e prGice of cDoal
A
Eighteen sixty-seven
My angel's gone to heaven Bm
He'll be happy there G
Sunlight and sweet clean air D A
D/A
They gather round the glass
Tough hewers and crutters Bm
Child trappers and putters
The little foals Emand half-maArrows Em
Who pushed
And pulled the bAarrows Em
The hod boys
And the rGolleywaymen D/A
