Miner - The Hackensaw Boys
From the album "Keep It Simple"
*Each line has 8 measures and the chords return to "E" after each verse for what
I'll call the "Verse Intro".
The Verse Intro is E strummed 8 times in 8 measures followed by E7 strummed 4x
faster (32 times in 8 measures).
If you follow what I'm saying, it should look like this:
Verse Intro = E E E E (x2)
E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 (x2)
Chords: E = 022100
E7 = 022130
A = 002220
G = 320003
D = 000232
~Verse Intro~
E
If I was a miner, I'd sing about the mine,
E A
I'd tell you of the women that love you for a time.
G D G D
Love you for a time... take you to their home
G D D E
If I was a miner, I'd make them my own
E G
Hey, hey, hey!
D E
Make them my own.
~Verse Intro~
If I was a banker, I'd take a widow's farm,
I'd never work on Sunday, and I'd eat my biscuits warm.
I'd eat my biscuits warm, with some fruit from a jar.
If I was a banker, I'd buy me a new car.
Hey, hey, hey!
Buy me a new car.
~Verse Intro~
If I was a preacher, I'd speak the Holy Word.
I'd leave the Church to ramble and I'd congregate with birds.
I'd congregate with birds, and forget about the rest.
You must believe in Heaven if you wanna build a nest.
Hey, hey, hey!
Wanna build a nest.
G D G D
If your woman's stubborn and she's got cold feet,
G D D E
You take her to the laundromat and roll her in the sheets.
G D G D
And if your woman's triflin', and she got no luck,
G D D E
You take her to the river and you wash her in the flood.
E G
Hey, hey, hey!
D E
Wash her in the flood.
Hey, hey, hey!
Wash her in the flood.
Hey, hey, hey!
Wash her in the flood.
Enjoy!
