This is the first attempt I've made at tabbing/chording something out. Hopefully it's
easy enough to follow, any feedback is appreciated.
Great song by Assembly of Dust
(Intro)
E G A (x4)
E G A
Well I was working real hard at the gravel yard
G E
When I came across a silver coin
G A
It wasn't that much but I tried my luck
G E
'Cause I'd had enough of being employed
A G E
I'd had enough of being employed
(Chorus)
B A E
Mama, mama, don't worry long for me
B A E
I'm a man and I must find my way
B A E
Mama, mama, can't you tell Sue for me?
B A
If I stay here, I'll die in a working man's grave
E G A (x4)
I was dead flat broke and it wasn't no joke
I was swimming in a pile of debt
But I have to admit, that when I up and quit
It pulled an iron shackle from my neck
An iron shackle from my neck
(Chorus)
E G A (x4)
Jam (verse chords --> chorus chords, no lyrics)
E G A (x4)
Well it's been some years and I've grown a beard
And I've taken to the life I live
When I think of the the past, the thinkin' doesn't last
I got everything I ever need
I got everything I ever need
A B
When I turned to leave I heard the pit boss scream
A B A
"Son, you know you'll never return"
E G A
Well I didn't say a word, I just flipped him the bird
B A
And that's the last of me that he heard
G E
The son of a bitch should have learned
(Chorus)
E G A to end
