Am C G
Get the rox in the box, get the water right down to your socks
Em Am
This bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bones
Am C G
We all do what we can, we endure our fellow man
Em Am
And we sing our songs to the head frames creaks and moans
Fmaj7 C
And it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
G Am
What were you meant for? What were you meant for?
Fmaj7 C
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
Am C G
And you won't make a dime on this gray Granite Mountain Mine
Em Am
Of dirt you're made and to dirt you will return
Am C G
So while we're living here, let's get this little one thing clear
Em Am
There's plenty of men to die, you don't jump your turn
Fmaj7 C
And it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
G Am
What were you meant for? What were you meant for?
Fmaj7 C
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
Fmaj7 C
And it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
G Am
What were you meant for? What were you meant for?
Fmaj7 C
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G G/G# Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
