CAPO: 1st FRET
INTRO:
F C Dm Dm Dm Dm
VERSE
It's hDmard when foClks can't find their wDmork
Where thGey've been bCred and bDmorn.Gm
When DmI was yoCung I always thDmought
I'd bDmide midst frCuits and cDmorn.
PRE-CHORUS:
But IF've been fBborced to wDmork in tCown
So hDmere's my lFitanAy:
CHORUS:
From HDmull and HCalifax and HDmell,
Good LGord, delCiver Dmme! Gm Dm
VERSE:
When DmI was cCourtin' Mary JDmane,
Thee old sqDmuire, he sCays to Dmme: Gm
"I've Dmgot no roComs for wedded fDmolk;
Choose, wDmhether to Cgo or to sDmtay?"
PRE-CHORUS:
I coFuld not give Bbup the gDmirl I lCoved,
So to tDmown I was foFrced to flAee:
CHORUS:
From HDmull and HCalifax and HDmell,
Good LGord, delCiver Dmme! Gm Dm Dm
VERSE:
I've wDmorked in LeCeds an' HuthersDmfel',
And I've eGarned some hConest bDmraaaaGmass;
In BDmradforth, KCeighley, RotherDmham,
I've kGept me bCarns an' lDmass.
PRE-CHORUS:
I've trFavelled Bball three RDmidin's roCund,
And oDmnce I wFent to sAea:
CHORUS:
From fDmorges, mCills, and coalin' bDmoats,
Good LGord, delCiver Dmme! Gm Dm
VERSE:
I've wDmalked at nCight through Sheffield lDmines,
Twas jDmust like bCein' in HDmell:
Where fDmurnaces thCrust out tongues o' fDmire,
An' rDmoared like the wCind on the fDmell.
PRE-CHORUS:
I've sFammed up coBbals in BDmarnsley pCits,
With mDmuck up Fto my kAnee:
CHORUS:
From BDmarnsley, ShCeffield, RotheDmrham,
Good LGord, delCiver Dmme! Gm Dm
VERSE:
I've sDmeen fog crCeep across Leeds BDmridge
As thGick as the bCastile sDmoup;Gm
I've lDmived wheer foClks were stowed aDmway
Like rDmabbits Cin a cDmoop.
PRE-CHORUS:
I've sFeen snow flBboat down BDmradforth BCeck
As bDmlack as eFbonAy:
CHORUS:
Frae HDmunslet, HColbeck, Wibsey SDmtack,
Good LGord, delCiver Dmme! Gm Dm
VERSE:
But Dmnow, that's aCll our children are gDmone
To the cGountry wCe've come bDmaaaaGmck.
There's fDmorty mCile of heathery mDmoor
Twixt' Dmus and the cCoal-pit sDmtack.
PRE-CHORUS:
And Fas I sBbit by the fDmire at niCght,
I'll lDmaugh and shFout with gAlee:
CHORUS:
From HDmull, and HCalifax, and HDmell,
The good LGord delCivered Dmme!
