Solas - Tell god and the devil

^Am Seven years a miner, I'll mine for seven more No ^Gbetter man on earth now to ^Ammove the mountain floor So ^Amload us in that chippy that drops down every day No ^Gbraver men on Earth boys no ^Ammatter what they say

So, tell ^GGod and the ^Fdevil they can ^Am try But to^Fday's not gonna ^Ebe the day we ^Amdie

Don't ^Amwant to see those helmet men come to carry you The ^Gground so cold and hard above they won't ^Ameven bury you So ^Amtap tap tap her lightly, as lightly as she goes You ^Gbetter take some cover now and ^Amhide before she blows

^GGet those picks and ^Fshovels off your ^Ambacks Get the ^Frocks into the ^Ebox and down the ^Amtracks

There's ^Cmuckers ^G/Band there's ^Amskinners and ^Cnippers ^G/Bon the ^Amdrill They'll ^Gwork all day and night boys, as ^Amonly miners will We'll ^Amchase rebellious copper, the walls you pick and hack Don't ^Gworry if you're diggin' scared, us ^Amminers got your back

So, tell ^GGod and the ^Fdevil they can ^Am try But to^Fday's not gonna ^Ebe the day we ^Amdie

^AmGod can't fetch you down here and the Devil's got your name Your ^Glife hangs in the balance on this ^Amfragile human chain Then ^Amwhen your spirit's waning, the fear is yours to tame When you ^Gfeel the darkness closing, turn ^Amup your carbon flame

So, tell ^GGod and the ^Fdevil they can ^Am try But to^Fday's not gonna ^Ebe the day we ^Amdie So, tell ^GGod and the ^Fdevil they can ^Am try But to^Fday's not gonna ^Ebe the day we ^Amdie
