Em C B7
Some people say a man is made out of mud
Em C B7
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Em Am
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
C B7 Em
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong.
Chorus:
Em C B7
You load sixteen tons what do you get
Em C B7
Another day older and deeper in debt
Em
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
C B7 Em
I owe my soul to the company store.
Riff :
Em C B7
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
Em
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
C B7 Em
And the straw boss said well a bless my soul.
Chorus :
Em C B7
You load sixteen tons what do you get
Em C B7
Another day older and deeper in
Em Am
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
C B7 Em
I owe my soul to the company store.
Riff :
Em C B7
I was born one morning it was drizzling rain.
Em C B7
Fighting and trouble are my middle name.
Em Am
I was raised in the cane break by an old mama lion.
C B7 Em
Ain't no high tone woman make me walk the line.
Chorus & Riff:
Em C B7
If you see me coming better step a side
A lot of men didn't a lot o' men died
Em Am
One fist of iron the other of steel
C B7 Em
If the right one don't get you then the left one will.

I'm a guitarist but I couldn't resist the very slow, very easy, very dark bass line here. - Jordan Lee Smith (2006) The intro, verse and chorus is just the following repeated over and over. |------------------------|------------------------| |------------------------|------------------------| |-2----------------------|-------------------1----| |-------------5----------|-4--------2-----4-------| |------------------------|------------------------| |------------------------|------------------------| |-2----------------------|-------------------1----| |-------------5----------|-4--------2-----4-------| |------------------------|------------------------| |------------------------|------------------------| |-2----------------------|-------------------1----| |-------------5----------|-3--------2-----4-------| After the intro and chorus this part is played along with an organ. |-4----------------------|------------------------| |-------4----------------|------------------------| |-------------5-----2----|-------1----2-----------| |------------------------|-2---4------------------| That's the whole song. The ordering is pretty simple if you listen to the song. Thanks.
