Seleccion acordes: Henry Walker

          D#m        C#      B        A#7
    Some people say manʼs made out mud,
             D#m         C#           B           A#7
    Well, a good manʼs made out of muscle and blood
      D#m        F#          G#       
    Muscle and blood, and skin and bones,
         A#7
    And mind thatʼs weak and the back thatʼs strong.

Chorus:
                 D#m  C#
        You load 16 tons,
             B          A#7
        And what do you get?
           D#m         C#
        Another day older,
             B         A#7
        And deeper in debt.
               D#m              F#
        Saint Peter, donʼt you call me,
              G#  
        Cause I canʼt go,
          D#m                   A#7     D#m                
       I owe my soul to the company store!

          D#m        C#      B        A#7
    I was born one morning when sun didnʼt shine,
             D#m         C#           B         A#7
    I picked up my shovel and I went to the mine,
      D#m        F#          G#       
    Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal,
         A#7
    And the straw boss said: "Well, bless my soul!"

Chorus:
                 D#m  C#
        You load 16 tons,
             B          A#7
        And what do you get?
           D#m         C#
        Another day older,
             B         A#7
        And deeper in debt.
               D#m              F#
        Saint Peter, donʼt you call me,
              G#  
        Cause I canʼt go,
          D#m                   A#7     D#m                
       I owe my soul to the company store!

          D#m        C#      B        A#7
     I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain,
             D#m         C#           B    A#7
     Fighting and Trouble ʼs my middle name,
      D#m        F#          G#       
     I was raised down the Canebrake by an old mountain mine,
         A#7
     And there ainʼt no hard hearted women make me walk that line!

Chorus:
                 D#m  C#
        You load 16 tons,
             B          A#7
        And what do you get?
           D#m         C#
        Another day older,
             B         A#7
        And deeper in debt.
               D#m              F#
        Saint Peter, donʼt you call me,
              G#  
        Cause I canʼt go,
          D#m                   A#7     D#m                
       I owe my soul to the company store!

          D#m        C#      B        A#7
    If you see me coming, you better step aside,
             D#m         C#           B     A#7
    A lot of men didnʼt and a lot of men died.
      D#m        F#          G#       
    My one fist is iron, the other oneʼs steel,
         A#7
    And if the left donʼt getcha, then the right one will.

Chorus:
                 D#m  C#
        You load 16 tons,
             B          A#7
        And what do you get?
           D#m         C#
        Another day older,
             B         A#7
        And deeper in debt.
               D#m              F#
        Saint Peter, donʼt you call me,
              G#  
        Cause I canʼt go,
          D#m                   A#7     D#m                
       I owe my soul to the company store
