[Verse]
Am G F E Some people say man is made out of mud Am G F E A poor man's made out of muscle and blood Am D Muscle and blood, skin and bones Am A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[Chorus]
Am G F E Sixteen tons, what do you get? Am G F E Another day older and deeper in debt Am D Dsus4 Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go Am I owe my soul to the company store
[Instrumental]

Am G F E x2
Am G F E I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine Am G F E I Picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine Am D I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal Am And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul"
[Chorus]
Am G F E Sixteen tons, what do you get? Am G F E Another day older and deeper in debt Am D Dsus4 Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go Am I owe my soul to the company store

Am G F E I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain Am G F E Fightin' and trouble are my middle name Am D I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion Am Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
[Chorus]
Am G F E Sixteen tons, what do you get? Am G F E Another day older and deeper in debt Am D Dsus4 Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go Am I owe my soul to the company store
