Verse 1:
N.C
This nine pound hammer
N.C
Is a little too heavy for my size
N.C
Buddy for my size
                 E minorEm
I'm going on the mountain
             A minorAm
Gonna see my baby
                   BB
And I ain't coming back
                   E minorEm
No, I ain't coming back


Chorus:
E MajorE
Roll on buddy
                  A augmentedA
Don't you roll so slow
          BB
How can I roll
                      E MajorE
When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy
               A augmentedA
Pull a load of coal
          BB
How can I pull
                      E MajorE
When the wheels won't roll
