Call The Captain
By Steep Canyon Rangers
Capo 2
G D/F# Em
Call up the captain tell em i aint comin in
G D/F# A2
He can dig his own coal somthing esle is happening
G D/F# Em
This living that im making is doing a sin
A2
Hes broken the lives of too many good men
Been hauling coal since i was big enough to fight
Some 30 odd shift with out a glimpse of daylight
The corporation likes to say that everythings alright
Dig your self a hole get outa sight
Theres a dark cloud above me thats blocking out the sun
Burn another hundred coal listen to the engines run
1 half is starving while the others having fun
So call the captain, call the captain, call the captain, call the captiannn
(chorus)
A2 D/F# G Bm
Melinda close the door
G D/F# A2 Dsus2
I aint going down to the mines today
Cadd9 Bm A2
I want' clear blue skys and whole lot more
G D/F# Em
I aint going down to the mines
(verse)
G D/F# Em
Theres a hole in this bucket ive been carrying around
G D/F# A2
I fll it up to the top and watch it spill on the ground
G D/F# Em
I go down to the mines and when i come back up
A2
I got nothin to show but the sweat on my brow
These hills are my own flesh and bones
There all that i love and there all that i know
Please dont ask me to destroy my own home
I'm not gonna choose between my heart and soul, soo
Call the Captain tell him i aint coming in
He can dig his own coal something else is happening
This living that making is doing a sin
So call the captain, call the captain,.......call the captainnn
(solo)
(chorus)
G D/F# Em
