5.15 a.m.
            (A augmentedA) G+G
Snow laying all around

A augmentedA collier cycles home
              D/AD/A  A augmentedA
From his night shift underground

Past the silent pub
                 E minorEm
Primary school, workingmens club

On the road from the pithead
        G+G
The churchyard packed
       D/AD/A
With mining dead

D MajorD

Then beneath the bridge

He comes to a giant car
   G+G
A augmentedA shroud of snow upon the roof
        D MajorD  A augmentedA
A majorA mark ten jaguar

He thought the man was fast asleep
            E minorEm
Silent, still and deep

Both dead and cold
 D/F#D/F# G+G
Shot through
       D MajorD
With bullet holes

GMaj7
             G6G6
The one armed bandit man
               D MajorD
Came north to fill his boots

Came up from cockneyland
               GMaj7
E-type jags and flashy suits

Put your money in
 G6G6
Pull the levers
        D MajorD
Watch them spin

Cash cows in all the pubs

But he preferred the new nightclubs


A augmentedA

Nineteen sixty-seven
                B minorBm
Bandit men in birdcage heaven

La dolce vita, sixty-nine
   G+G             D MajorD A augmentedA
All new to people of the Tyne


D MajorD

Who knows who did what

Somebody made a call
   G+G
They said his hands
Were in the pot
             D MajorD   A augmentedA
That he’d been skimming hauls

He picks up the swag
           E minorEm
They gaily gave away

Drives his giant jag
D/F#D/F# G+G       D MajorD
Off to his big pay day


GMaj7
          G6G6
Oh the bandit man
               D MajorD
Came north to fill his boots

Came up from cockneyland
               GMaj7
E-type jags and flashy suits
        G6G6
The bandit man
               D MajorD
Came up the great north road

Up to geordieland

To mine

The mother lode


| A augmentedA | G/AG/A | A augmentedA | G/AG/A |
| A augmentedA | G/AG/A | A augmentedA | A7A7 |


D MajorD

Seams blew up or cracked
               G+G
Black diamonds came hard won

Generations toiled and hacked
             D MajorD  A augmentedA
For a pittance and black lung

Crushed by tub or stone

Together
      E minorEm
And alone

How the young and old
    D/F#D/F# G+G    D MajorD
Paid the  price of coal


A augmentedA

Eighteen sixty-seven
              B minorBm
My angel’s gone to heaven
           G+G
He’ll be happy there
               D MajorD A augmentedA
Sunlight and sweet clean air


D/AD/A

They gather round the glass
              B minorBm
Tough hewers and crutters

Child trappers and putters
         E minorEm     A augmentedA    E minorEm
The little foals and half-marrows

Who pushed
        A augmentedA    E minorEm
And pulled the barrows

The hod boys
     G+G      D/AD/A
And the rolleywaymen
