    The document is song lyrics about a working man who has spent time underground in a mine. The lyrics describe how at age 16 he quarreled with his peers about working in the mine, how the coal dust lays heavy on your lungs working underground, and how at age 64 he will tell others about the hardships of working in the mine through the dark recess. The chorus repeats that the man is a working man who has been underground and swears if he ever sees the sun again he will never return underground.

    Key G, 4/4 100bpm WORKING MAN Rita McNeil

    (Chorus & Intro: )


    It's a [G] working man I am,
    And I've [C] been down under-[G]-ground,
    And I swear to God, if I ever see the [D7] sun,
    Or for [G] any length of time,
    I can [C] hold it in my [G] mind,
    I never again will [D7] go under-[G]-ground.

    At the [G] age of sixteen years,


    Oh, he [C] quarrels with his [G] peers,
    Who vow they'd never see another [D7] one,
    In the [G] dark recess of the mine,
    Where you [C] age before your [G] time,
    And the coal dust lies [D7] heavy on your [G] lungs.

    (Chorus: )

    At the [G] age of sixty-four,


    Oh, he'll [C] greet you at the [G] door,
    And he'll gently lead you by the [D7] arm,
    Through the [G] dark recess of the mine,
    Oh, he'll [C] take you back in [G] time,
    And he'll tell you of the [D7] hardships that were [G] his.

    (Chorus: ) x2
