   Am

[VERSE]

Am  D7/F#  G              Am           D7/F#   G
    All my life I've been digging Polish black coal
Am   D7/F#  G            Am           D7/F#     G
  It wasn't much but you know I could play that role
Am     Am/G    D7/F#   Dm           E7
  They laid me off and so I kept my pail
Am   D7/F#  G       Am         D7/F#        G  E7 
  And now I wade in bushes down by the rail


     [CHORUS]

     Am F         E7       D7
        Raider man, got no choice about it
     Am F         E7         D7
        Raider man, jumpin' up there on it
     Am F         E7       D7                Am    E7
        Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now


[VERSE]
Am      D7/F#    G              Am       D7/F#   G
   They hired me back and traded my pail for a stick
Am    D7/F#   G       Am          D7/F#       G    E7
  And now I chase the ones with a pail and a brick

 
     PLAY CHORUS 1x

     REPEAT INTRO

[VERSE]
Am   D7/F#     G            Am          D7/F#  G
   I chased my cousin, it wasn't no big deal
Am   D7/F#  G            Am                 D7/F#      G
  I lost my legs when I slipped beneath the coal train wheel
Am   Am/G   D7/F#        Dm       Dm/C   E7
  My cousin tries to put something in my bowl
Am    D7/F#  G           Am           D7/F#     G   E7
  And now I wish I never left that darkened hole


[CHORUS]

     -REPEAT CHORUS-

[INTRO]
 
  play 3x, then end on Am
