Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C

E A E B

E A Am E

 Well I wEorked on the rAailroad for tEwo pence a dAay

 DrEank down one pAenny, the Amother I’d sEave

 I hEammered and I hAammered, for GEod knows how lAong

 WEell into mAadness with Ameach setting sEun

 I pEut my head dAown and I drEeamt you were hBere

 With Eme by the Aol’ tree where Amno one could cEare

Chorus

 Far awEay boys, far awAay boys, awEay from ya nAow

 I’m lEyin’ with my swAeetheart, in her Amarms I’ll be fEound

 Then the sEun belched upAon me, you were Eno longer hAere

 LEyin’ in your plAace was my hAmammer and my gEear

 So I stEamped out the fAire that kEept us both wAarm

 The Eashes were fAallin’ like the sAmnow drops of Eold

 We cEame to a mAountain, dynamEite and she’ll bBlow

 A big hEole in that rAock like the Amone in my sEoul

Chorus

We buried four workmen; they dug themselves well

From four empty coffins to four early graves

They’re only paddies, just paddies; don’t dig them too deep

You’ll need all your strength, boys, and they’re replaced easily

With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips

Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this

Chorus

Someone said it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight

The only thing growin’ was my will to die

Till the gaffer said “Men, your work here is done”

I said “I’ll see you in Hell, on that train we died for”

Never again will I smell your sweet dream

But a pissed stained old gutter where your lips used to be

Chorus

Quite simple, as all their songs tend to be. That's it for now. Enjoy it!
