They were married in a mining valley
    Bm                                G             D
And swore they'd be together 'til the day that they died

D  Dsus4 D

Verse 2:
D
Twenty years later with the coal all gone
Dsus4   D                       Dsus4
And the golden lamp in his hand
   D
He stands at the bar with a pint and his friends
     Bm                         G             D
They all agree together that they don't understand

Pre-Chorus
Bm                               D            G
Meanwhile little David takes his books off to school
    D                    C
And learns of times gone past
Bm                                D           G
And when it comes to questions he puts up his hand
        D                               C
There's something that he just wants to ask


D                  Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D                      Dsus4
Please sir you know it doesn't seem fair
D               Dsus4
Last night as I walked through the door
  Bm                             G          D
I thought I saw my father crying sat in his chair

D  Dsus4 D

Verse 3:
D                                        Dsus4
She stood there with her arms around him and she said
D                            Dsus4
She promised him a better day
D
But after twenty years of working underground
     Bm                     G          D
It's not just your job that they take away

Pre-Chorus
Bm                         D           G
Sometimes he'd walk to the edge of his world
    D                     C
And stare at the valley below
Bm                             D        G
He thought about leaving maybe running away
    D                         C
But knew there was nowhere to go


D                  Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D                     Dsus4
Please sir you know I just can't see
D                   Dsus4
Please sir when you make these decisions
Bm                           G          D
Do you have a vision of what happens to me
D                  Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D                     Dsus4
Please sir you know I just can't say
D                   Dsus4
Please sir when you make these decisions
Bm                           G          D
Do you have a vision of what happens to me

D  Dsus4 D  D  Dsus4 D  Bm  G  D

Verse 4:
D                               Dsus4
Life goes on in a mining valley
        D                                 Dsus4
But the young men leave for a better wage
D
And every day he coughs and he splutters
   Bm                     G         D
He knows that love is the reason he stays
   Bm                     G         D
He knows that love is the reason he stays

Pre-Chorus
Bm                               D            G
Meanwhile little David takes his books off to school
    D                    C
And learns of times gone past
Bm                                D           G
And when it comes to questions he puts up his hand
        D                               C
There's something that he just wants to ask


D                  Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D                      Dsus4
Please sir you know it doesn't seem fair
D               Dsus4
Last night as I walked through the door
  Bm                            G          D
I thought I saw my daddy crying sat in his chair
D                  Dsus4
Please sir can you give me and answer
D                     Dsus4
Please sir you know I just can't say
D                   Dsus4
Please sir when you make these decisions
Bm                           G          D

Do you have a vision of what happens to me
