Am D7 G Am D7 G All my life I've been digging Polish black coal Am D7 G Am D7 G It wasn't much but you know I could play that role Am Am D7 Dm E7 They laid me off and so I kept my pail Am D7 G Am D7 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 They hired me back and traded my pail for a stick And now I chase the ones with a pail and a brick Chorus - x2 I chased my cousin, it wasn't no big deal I lost my legs when I slipped beneath the coal train wheel My cousin tries to put something in my bowl And now I wish I never left that darkened hole Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm Dm D7 E7 F F# G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
