[Vers 1]
Am This place has changed for good C Em7 Am Your economic theory said it would Am It's hard for us to understand C Em7 Am We can't give up our jobs the way we should Am Our blood has stained the coal C Em7 Am We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul Am We matter more than pounds and pence C Em7 Am Your economic theory makes no sense
[Chorus]
F C One day in a nuclear age Dm Am They may understand our rage F C They build machines that they can't control Dm Am And bury the waste in a great big hole F C Power was to become cheap and clean Dm Am Grimy faces were never seen F C Dm Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen Am We work the black seam together Am We work the black seam together
[Vers 2]
Am The seam lies underground C Em7 Am Three million years of pressure packed it down Am We walk through ancient forest lands C Em7 Am And light a thousand cities with our hands Am Your dark satanic mills C Em7 Am Have made redundant all our mining skills Am You can't exchange a six inch band C Em7 Am For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
[Chorus]
F C One day in a nuclear age Dm Am They may understand our rage F C They build machines that they can't control Dm Am And bury the waste in a great big hole F C Power was to become cheap and clean Dm Am Grimy faces were never seen F C Dm Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen Am We work the black seam together Am We work the black seam together
[Vers 3]
Am Should the children weep C Em7 Am The turning world will sing their souls to sleep Am When you have sunk without a trace C Em7 Am The universe will suck me into place
Am
[Chorus]
F C One day in a nuclear age Dm Am They may understand our rage F C They build machines that they can't control Dm Am And bury the waste in a great big hole F C Power was to become cheap and clean Dm Am Grimy faces were never seen F C Dm Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen Am We work the black seam together Am We work the black seam together
