[Verse 1]

           Am                        C                        G
We get the rocks in the box, get the water right down to your socks
     Em                                 Am
This bulkheads built of fallen brethren bones
       Am                   C               G
We all do what we can, we endure our fellow man
       Em                                           Am
And we sing our songs to the headframes' creaks and moans


[Chorus 1]

         F                       C
And it's one, two, three, on the wrong side of the lee
              G                        Am
What were you meant for, what were you meant for
        F                                C
And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line
    G                      G/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
    G                      G/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

[Verse 2]

              Am                  C                     G
And you won't make a dime on this gray granite mountain mine
   Em                                    Am
Of dirt your made and to dirt you will return
   Am                            C                        G
So while were living here, let's get this other one thing clear
        Em                                    Am
There's plenty of men to die, don't jump your turn


[Chorus 2]

         F                       C
And it's one, two, three, on the wrong side of the lee
              G                        Am
What were you meant for, what were you meant for
        F                                C
And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line
    G                      G/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
    G                      G/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

[Chorus 3]

         F                       C
And it's one, two, three, of the wrong side of the lee
              G                        Am
What were you meant for, whatever your meant for
        F                                C
And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line
    G                      G/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
    G                      G/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
    G                      G/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
