[Verse 1]
Am This place has changed for good Am G Am Your economic theory said it would Am G It's hard for us to understand Am G Am We can't give up our jobs the way we should
[Verse 2]
Am Our blood has stained the coal Am G Am We tunneled deep inside the nations soul Am G We matter more than pounds and pence Am G Am Your economic theory makes no sense
[Chorus]
F C One day in a nuclear age G Am They may understand our rage F C They build machines that they can't control G Fmaj7 And bury the waste in a great big hole F C Power was to be cheap and clean G Am Grimy faces were never seen F C But deadly for twelve thousand years G Am Is carbon fourteen G Am We work the black seam together G Am We work the black seam together
[Verse 3]
Am The seam lies underground Am G Am Three million years of pressure packed it down Am G We walk through ancient forest lands Am G Am And light a thousand cities with our hands
[Verse 4]
Am Your dark satanic mills Am G Am Have made redundant all our mining skills Am G You can't exchange a six inch band Am G Am For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
[Chorus]
F C One day in a nuclear age G Am They may understand our rage F C They build machines that they can't control G Fmaj7 And bury the waste in a great big hole F C Power was to be cheap and clean G Am Grimy faces were never seen F C But deadly for twelve thousand years G Am Is carbon fourteen G Am We work the black seam together G Am We work the black seam together
[Verse 5]
Am And should the children weep Am G Am The turning world will sing their souls to sleep Am G When you have sunk without a trace Am G Am The universe will suck me into place
[Chorus]
F C One day in a nuclear age G Am They may understand our rage F C They build machines that they can't control G Fmaj7 And bury the waste in a great big hole F C Power was to be cheap and clean G Am Grimy faces were never seen F C But deadly for twelve thousand years G Am Is carbon fourteen G Am We work the black seam together G Am We work the black seam together
