Call The Captain
By Steep Canyon Rangers
Capo 4
Call Cup the cCmaj9aptain tell em iAm aint comin in
He canC dig his own Cmaj9coal somthing esle iAms happening
This lCiving that im mCmaj9aking is doing Amus in
Hes brGoken the lives of too many good men
Been hauling coal since i was big enough to fight
Some 30 odd shift with out a glimpse of daylight
The corporation likes to say that everythings alright
Dig your self a hole get outa sight
Theres a dark cloud above me thats blocking out the sun
Burn another hundred coal listen to the engines run
1 half is starving while the others having fun
So call the captain, call the captain, call the captain, call the captiannn
(chorus)
MAmelinda cGlose the door
I aint going down to the mCines Amtoday
I want' clear blue sCkys and wGhole lot more
I aint going down to the Ammines
(verse)
Theres a hCole in thisCmaj9 bucket ive been caAmrrying around
I fill it Cup to thCmaj9e top and watch it Amspill on the ground
I goC down to the Cmaj9mines and when i cAmome back up
I goGt nothin to show but the sweat on my brow
These hills are my own flesh and bones
There all that i love and there all that i know
Please dont ask me to destroy my own home
I'm not gonna choose between my heart and soul, soo
Call the Captain tell him i aint coming in
He can dig his own coal something else is happening
This living that making is doing us in
So call the captain, call the captain,.......call the captainnn
