[Intro]
G C Gm C
Gm C7sus4 Cm G
[Verse 1]
Gm C G C Well I worked on a railroad, for tuppins a day. Gm C Cm G I drank down one penny, the other I'd save. Gm C G C I hammered my hammer, for God knows how long. G C Cm Gm Well into madness, with each setting sun. G Cm Gm C I put my head down, and I dreamt you were here, Gm C7sus4 Cm G With me by the old tree, where no one could care.
[Chorus]
Gm Cm Gm C7sus4 Far away boys, Far away boys. Away from you now. G C Cm Gm I'm lying with my sweetheart; in her arm's I'll be found.
[Verse 2]
Gm C G C Then the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here. Gm C Cm G Lying in your place was my hammer and my gear, Gm C G C So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm. G C Cm Gm The ashes were falling, like the snowdrops of old. G Cm Gm C We came to a mountain, dynamite and she'll blow, Gm C7sus4 Cm G A big hole in that rock, like the one in my soul.
[Solo]
G Cm C7sus4 Gm
Gm Cm G D
[Verse 3]
Gm C G C We buried four workmen, they dug themselves well. Gm C Cm G From four empty coffins, to four early graves. Gm C G C "They're only paddies just paddies, don't dig them too deep. G C Cm Gm You'll need all your strength boys, they're replaced easily." G Cm Gm C With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips, Gm C7sus4 Cm G Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this.
[Chorus]
Gm Cm Gm C7sus4 Far away boys, Far away boys. Away from you now. G C Cm Gm I'm lying with my sweetheart; in her arm's I'll be found.
[Verse 4]
Gm C G C Someone said it was Christmas; not a tree was in sight. Gm C Cm G The only thing growing was my will to die. Gm C G C 'Till the gaffer said "Men, your work here is done." G C Cm Gm He said "I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for." G Cm Gm C Never again, will I smell your sweet drink, Gm C7sus4 Cm G But a piss-stained old gutter where, your lips used to be.
[Solo]
G C Cm Gm
[Chorus]
Gm Cm Gm C7sus4 Far away boys, Far away boys. Away from you now. G C Cm Gm I'm lying with my sweetheart; in her arm's I'll be found. Gm Cm Gm C7sus4 Far away boys, Far away boys. Away from you now. G C Cm Gm I'm lying with my sweetheart; in her arm's I'll be found...
