[Intro 1]
[Bb][Gm][D][A][D][G][Gm][D]

[Verse 1]
Well, I [D]worked on a [G]railroad,
[D]for tuppins a [G]day
I [D]drank down one [G]penny,
the [Gm]other I'd [D]save
I hammered my [G]hammer,
for [D]God knows how [G]long
[D]Well, into [G]madness, [Gm]with each setting sun[D]
I put my hair [G]down,
and I [D]dreamt you [A]were here
With [D]me by the [G]old tree,
[Gm]where no one could care[D]

[Verse 2]
Far [D]away boys, far [G]away boys,
[D]away from you [G]now
I'm [D]lying with my [G]sweetheart,
in [Gm]her arm's I'll [D]be found

[Verse 3]
Then [D]the sun belched [G]upon me,
you were [D]no longer [G]here
[D]Lying in you [G]place [Gm]was my
hammer and my [D]gear
So I stamped out [G]the fire
that kep[D]t us both w[G]arm
The [D]ashes [G]were falling,
like [Gm]the snowdrops of [D]old
We came to a [G]mountain,
dynam[D]ite and [A]she'll blow
A big [D]hole in that [G]rock,
like the [Gm]one in my soul

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][A][D][G][Gm][D]

[Verse 4]
We [D]burried four [G]workmen,
they [D]dug themselves [G]well
From [D]four empty [G]coffins,
[Gm]to four early grav[D]es
"They're only paddies just [G]paddies,
don't [D]dig them too [G]deep
You'll [D]need all [G]your strength boys,
[Gm]they're replaced eas[D]ily"
With the heat I was [G]melting
in[D]to your sweet [A]lips
Ah, [D]your kiss takes me [G]back,
[Gm]takes me back from all [D]this

[Verse 5]
Far [D]away boys, far [G]away boys,
[D]away from you [G]now
I'm [D]lying with my [G]sweetheart,
in [Gm]her arm's I'll [D]be found

[Verse 6]
Someone [D]said it was [G]Christmas,
not [D]a tree was [G]in sight
The [D]only thing [G]growing
[Gm]was my will to die[D]
'Till the gaffer said [G]"Men,
your [D]work here is [G]done"
He said [D]"I'll see you [G]in hell,
on [Gm]that train we died [D]for"
Never [G]again, will I [D]smell your sweet [A]drink
But a piss-s[D]tained old old [G]gutter where,
[Gm]your lips used to be[D]

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D][A][D][G][Gm][D][G][D]
[A][D][G][Gm][D]

[Verse 7]
Far [D]away boys, far [G]away boys,
[D]away from you [G]now
I'm [D]ly ing with my [G]sweetheart,
in [Gm]her arm's I'll be f[D]ound

[Verse 8]
Far [D]away boys, far [G]away boys,
[D]away from you [G]now
I'm [D]lying with my [G]sweetheart,
in her [Gm]arm's I'll be [D]found
