We Work The Black Seam chords by Sting

Chords with lyrics

Vers 1:
   A minorAm
This place has changed for good
   C majorC    E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
Your economic theory said it would
   A minorAm
It's hard for us to understand
  C majorC         E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
We can't give up our jobs the way we should


  A minorAm
Our blood has stained the coal
  C majorC       E minor 7Em7        A minorAm
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
 A minorAm
We matter more than pounds and pence
   C majorC    E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
Your economic theory makes no sense

Chorus:
FF      C majorC
One day in a nuclear age
DmDm           A minorAm
They may understand our rage
   FF             C majorC
They build machines that they can't control
DmDm           A minorAm
And bury the waste in a great big hole
FF          C majorC
Power was to become cheap and clean
DmDm        A minorAm
Grimy faces were never seen
FF         C majorC         DmDm
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
A minorAm
We work the black seam together
A minorAm
We work the black seam together

Vers 2:
 A minorAm
The seam lies underground
   C majorC        E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
Three million years of pressure packed it down
  A minorAm
We walk through ancient forest lands
  C majorC        E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
And light a thousand cities with our hands
 A minorAm
Your dark satanic mills
   C majorC       E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
Have made redundant all our mining skills
 A minorAm
You can't exchange a six inch band
   C majorC        E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland

Chorus:

FF      C majorC
One day in a nuclear age
DmDm           A minorAm
They may understand our rage
   FF             C majorC
They build machines that they can't control
DmDm           A minorAm
And bury the waste in a great big hole
FF          C majorC
Power was to become cheap and clean
DmDm        A minorAm
Grimy faces were never seen
FF         C majorC         DmDm
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
A minorAm
We work the black seam together
A minorAm
We work the black seam together


Vers 3:
 A minorAm
Should the children weep
   C majorC        E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
 A minorAm
When you have sunk without a trace
   C majorC        E minor 7Em7      A minorAm
The universe will suck me into place

A minorAm

Chorus:

FF      C majorC
One day in a nuclear age
DmDm           A minorAm
They may understand our rage
   FF             C majorC
They build machines that they can't control
DmDm           A minorAm
And bury the waste in a great big hole
FF          C majorC
Power was to become cheap and clean
DmDm        A minorAm
Grimy faces were never seen
FF         C majorC         DmDm
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
A minorAm
We work the black seam together
A minorAm
We work the black seam together
