We Work The Black Seam chords by Sting

Guitar chords with lyrics

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



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

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

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


Chorus:

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


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

Am

Chorus:

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