          F
A miner's life is like a sailor
         Bb                C
Aboard a ship to cross the waves
      F                 Dm
Every day his life's in danger
     Bb             C
Many ventures being brave

      F
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily
         Bb            C
Careless miners always fail
     F                   Dm
Keep your hand upon your wages
         Bb       C
And your eye upon the scale

      Bb              Am
Union miners, stand together
       F                     C
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale
          F              Dm7
Keep your hand upon your wages
         F    C       F       C
And your eye upon the scale

            F
You've been docked and docked again, boys
            Bb                C
You've been loading three for one
               F               Dm
Oh, what's the use in all your working
          Bb              C
When your mining days are done?

         Am                 F
Worn out shoes and worn out miners
          Bb              C
Blackened lungs and faces pale
         F                   Dm
Oh, keep your hand upon your wages
         Bb       C
And your eye upon the scale

      Bb              Am
Union miners, stand together
       F                     C
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale
          F              Dm7
Keep your hand upon your wages
         F    C       F       C
And your eye upon the scale

In conclusion, bear in memory
          Bb               C
Keep this password in your mind
        F                   Dm
Worker's strength cannot be broken
     Bb           C
When unions be combined

         Am               F
Stand up tall and stand together
     Bb            C
Victory for you prevail
              F               Dm
Oh, keep your hands upon your wages
         Bb       C
And your eye upon the scale
