5 . 15 A . m .
( A ) G
snow laying all around
a collier cycles home
D/A A
from his night shift underground
past the silent pub
Em
primary school , workingmens club
on the road from the pithead
G
the churchyard packed
D/A
with mining dead
D
then beneath the bridge
he comes to a giant car
G
a shroud of snow upon the roof
D A
a mark ten jaguar
he thought the man was fast asleep
Em
silent , still and deep
both dead and cold
D/F# G
shot through
D
with bullet holes
Gmaj7
G6
the one armed bandit man
D
came north to fill his boots
came up from cockneyland
Gmaj7
E – type jags and flashy suits
put your money in
G6
pull the levers
D
watch them spin
cash cows in all the pubs
but he preferred the new nightclubs
A
nineteen sixty – seven
Bm
bandit men in birdcage heaven
la dolce vita , sixty – nine
G D A
all new to people of the tyne
D
who knows who did what
somebody made a call
G
they said his hands
were in the pot
D A
that hed been skimming hauls
he picks up the swag
Em
they gaily gave away
drives his giant jag
D/F# G D
off to his big pay day
Gmaj7
G6
oh the bandit man
D
came north to fill his boots
came up from cockneyland
Gmaj7
E – type jags and flashy suits
G6
the bandit man
D
came up the great north road
up to geordieland
to mine
the mother lode
| A | G/A | A | G/A |
| A | G/A | A | A7 |
D
seams blew up or cracked
G
black diamonds came hard won
generations toiled and hacked
D A
for a pittance and black lung
crushed by tub or stone
together
Em
and alone
how the young and old
D/F# G D
paid the price of coal
A
eighteen sixty – seven
Bm
my angels gone to heaven
G
hell be happy there
D A
sunlight and sweet clean air
D/A
they gather round the glass
Bm
tough hewers and crutters
child trappers and putters
Em A Em
the little foals and half – marrows
who pushed
A Em
and pulled the barrows
the hod boys
G D/A
and the rolleywaymen
