        Am
I won't see you 'till Christmas

          F
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters

        G
But the foreman he don't worry

       G
He say work boy there's no hurry

Em              Am
 Don't that big red sun

Em              Am
Look a lot like fire

         F
When you come out of the ground

      Esus        E
After forty eight hours
[CHORUS]
      C    G/B  Am   G    F
Going down down down down down

      C    G/B Am    G
Going down in  Durban deep

      C    G/B  Am   G    F
Going down down down down down

           C G/B Am    G
There's no mercy in my sleep

C                F
I just hear that drill and hammer

  Am       G       F
I feel the killing heat

      C   G/B   Am   G      F
Going two miles down to the heart

 Of Durban deep

      Am
I was born on amen corner

        F
I pound rock face, I get lonely

       G
But my family they go hungry

          G
Still the boss man he call us lazy

Em                 Am
Don't the old blue heaven

Em              Am
Look a lot like your eyes

            F
When you're blinded by the brightness

       Esus      E
Of the Transvaal sky
