Verse 
          F 
A miner's life is like a sailor 
         Bb                C 
Aboard a ship to cross the waves 
      F                 Dm 
Every day his life's in danger 
     Bb             C 
Many ventures being brave 

Verse 
      F 
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily 
         Bb            C 
Careless miners always fail 
     F                   Dm 
Keep your hand upon your wages 
         Bb       C 
And your eye upon the scale 

      Bb              Am 
Union miners, stand together 
       F                     C 
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale 
          F              Dm7 
Keep your hand upon your wages 
         F    C       F       C 
And your eye upon the scale
 

Verse 
            F 
You've been docked and docked again, boys 
            Bb                C 
You've been loading three for one 
               F               Dm 
Oh, what's the use in all your working 
          Bb              C 
When your mining days are done? 

Verse 
         Am                 F 
Worn out shoes and worn out miners 
          Bb              C 
Blackened lungs and faces pale 
         F                   Dm 
Oh, keep your hand upon your wages 
         Bb       C 
And your eye upon the scale 

      Bb              Am 
Union miners, stand together 
       F                     C 
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale 
          F              Dm7 
Keep your hand upon your wages 
         F    C       F       C 
And your eye upon the scale

Verse 
      F 
In conclusion, bear in memory 
          Bb               C 
Keep this password in your mind 
        F                   Dm 
Worker's strength cannot be broken 
     Bb           C 
When unions be combined 

Verse 
         Am               F 
Stand up tall and stand together 
     Bb            C 
Victory for you prevail 
              F               Dm 
Oh, keep your hands upon your wages 
         Bb       C 
And your eye upon the scale 
 
      Bb              Am 
Union miners, stand together 
       F                     C 
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale 
          F              Dm7 
Keep your hand upon your wages 
         F    C       F       C 
And your eye upon the scale 

      Bb              Am 
Union miners, stand together 
       F                     C 
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale 
          F              Dm7 
Keep your hand upon your wages 
         F    C       F       C 
And your eye upon the scale
