Farewell Johnny Miner

	  		
Intro - D (4x)

D 
Johnny Miner, you were born 
G                D 
Never to see the rising dawn 
G                  Bm 
Now it's time that you were gone 
D        G      A 
Farewell Johnny Miner! 


D 
And farewell Durham, Yorkshire too 
G               D 
Nottingham, the same to you 
G                      Bm 
Scotland, South Wales, say Adieu 
D        G      A 
Farewell Johnny Miner 


D 
They've promised you the earth sometimes 
G                      D 
To get coal from their stinkin' mines 
G               Bm 
Now the justice for their crimes 
   D         G      A 
Is Farewell, Johnny Miner! 

Chorus 

D 
You've battled with the sliding scale 
G                    D 
Lungs turned black & faces pale 
G                      Bm 
Now your body's up for sale 
D        G      A 
Farewell Johnny Miner! 

Chorus 

D 
And Farewell John, don't take it hard 
G                  D 
Unemployment isn't bad 
G                             Bm 
They'll treat you well in the knackers' yard 
D        G      A 
Farewell Johnny Miner!
