Give My Love To Marie chords by Gene Clark

Intro:
G

Verse:
                                 C     G
I'm a black lung miner from East Tennessee
                                  D          G
Raised my family on coal dust and beans
                                C            Em    Am
The old black lung's got me, no life left in me
        G              Am              C         G
Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie

Verse:
                           C             G
For twenty-five years I've worked in the mines
                                               D
Where the earth is as black as a cold winter's night
        G                             C         Em    Am
There's millions in the ground, not a penny for me
        G              Am              C         G
Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie

Verse:
                           C            G
I've loved all my children, six sons of mine
                                 D
Pray that they never work in the mine
        G                                    C             Em    Am
For the black lung will get them and they'll die just like me
        G              Am              C         G
Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie

Instrumental:

Verse:
                    C           G
Frost on the ground, ice in the trees
                                   D
The air is so heavy I can't hardly breathe
        G                           C            Em      Am
Oh, the old black lung's got me and soon I'll be free
        G              Am              C         G
Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie
                       Am              C         G
Hang my lantern in the window, give my love to Marie
