Sixteen Tons


Intro: Am      F       E   E7   Am 

V1. 
     Am           F      Dm         E       
Some people say a man is made outa mud,  
   Am         F         Dm         E 
a poor man's made outa muscle 'n blood... 
 Am         F         Dm       E       
Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone,  
   Am          F          E7          E 
a mind that's weak and a back that's strong. 

  

E    E7    Am     F        Dm     E    
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?  
  Am         F         Dm        E 
another day older an' deeper in debt; 
       Am           F             Dm             
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go,  
  Am      F           E  E7   Am 
I owe my soul to the company store. 

Am       F       E    E7   Am 

V2. 

       Am       F               Dm          E     
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine,  
   Am           F            Dm            E 
I Picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine; 
          Am      F       Dm          E     
I Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal,  
         Am         F            Dm       E 
and the straw boss said, "Well, Bless my soul!" 


Chorus 

V3. 
      Am        F               Dm       E      
I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain,  
 Am            F            Dm      E 
fightin' and trouble are my middle names; 
       Am            F               Dm        E      
I was raised in the canebreak by an' ol' mama hound,  
         Am         F           Dm      E 
ain't no high-tone woman gonna push me around. 

 

V4. 
      Am        F                Dm   E      
If ya see me a-comin' ya better step aside,  
   Am          F          Dm        E 
A lotta men didn't an' a lotta men died; 
     Am                        Dm              
With one fist of iron an' the other of steel,  
        Am             F               Am 
If the right one don' getcha then the left one will.
