Am [VERSE]
Am  D7/F#  G              Am           D7/F#   G
    All my life I've been digging Polish black coal

Am   D7/F#  G            Am           D7/F#     G
  It wasn't much but you know I could play that role

Am     Am/G    D7/F#   Dm           E7
  They laid me off and so I kept my pail

Am   D7/F#  G       Am         D7/F#        G  E7 
  And now I wade in bushes down by the rail
[CHORUS]
     Am F         E7       D7
        Raider man, got no choice about it

     Am F         E7         D7
        Raider man, jumpin' up there on it

     Am F         E7       D7                Am    E7
        Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now
[VERSE]
Am      D7/F#    G              Am       D7/F#   G
   They hired me back and traded my pail for a stick

Am    D7/F#   G       Am          D7/F#       G    E7
  And now I chase the ones with a pail and a brick
PLAY CHORUS 1x REPEAT INTRO [SOLO] - like verse 1 Am D7/F# G (x4) Am Am/G D7/F# Dm Dm/C E7 Am D7/F# G (x2) E7 [CHORUS] -REPEAT CHORUS- [VERSE]
Am   D7/F#     G            Am          D7/F#  G
   I chased my cousin, it wasn't no big deal

Am   D7/F#  G            Am                 D7/F#      G
  I lost my legs when I slipped beneath the coal train wheel

Am   Am/G   D7/F#        Dm       Dm/C   E7
  My cousin tries to put something in my bowl

Am    D7/F#  G           Am           D7/F#     G   E7
  And now I wish I never left that darkened hole
[CHORUS] -REPEAT CHORUS- [INTRO] play 3x, then end on Am
