                        on:  "Heavy Metal" album

                 transcribed by tigressa <dreamwlk@i1.net>

  

  Just trying to put back a little.  If there are errors, sorry.  

  Took my best stab at it.

  

  

  

  [Intro:]

    4 measures beat intro.  

     8 measures of C/C7 with bass & chords.  

     Melody starts last beat of 8th measure.

  

  

  

  [Verse]

  

                  /C7

  Well I've been  workin' in a coal mine,

  

  

  Goin' down, down;

  

  /

  Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

  

  /

  Workin' in a coal mine,

  

  

  Goin' down, down;

  

  /

  Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

  

  /G                                /

  Five o'clock in the mornin',  I'm up before the sun,

  

  /                              /                           C7

  When my work day is over,  I'm too tired for havin' fun....

  

   /C7

   I've been workin' in a coal mine,

  

  

  Goin' down, down;

  

  /

  Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

  

  /

  Workin' in a coal mine,

   

  

  Goin' down, down;

  

  /

  Workin' in a coal mine, [Whoop!]  about to slip down;

  

  

   /    /                 /

        Lord,    I am so  tired       

  

  /

  How long can this go on? .....

  

     [repeat verse]

  

  

  [Ending]

              /                 /

  I've been a workin',  goin',  workin',  [WHOOP!]  

  

  

  about to slip down,

  

  /                 /

  workin',  goin',  workin'  [WHOOP!]    about to slip down

  

     [repeat last line 6 times to fade]
