  From father to son, the blood runs thin, ooohhh 
        A                  F                   F

G                  C 
  The seam is split 
                     G 
The coal-face cracked 
                  C 
The lines are long 
                     G 
There''s no going back 
                      C 
Through hands of steel 
                  G 
And heart of stone 
              C 
Our labour day 
             D 
Has come and gone

  The glass is cut 
                  G 
The bottle run dry 
                  C 
Our love runs cold  
                           G 
In the caverns of the night 
                     C 
We''re wounded by fear 
                G 
Injured in doubt 
             C 
I can lose myself

G                   C 
 We scorch the earth 
                   G 
Set fire to the sky 
                     C 
And we stooped so low 
                G 
To reach so high 
              C 
A link is lost 
                G 
The chain undone 
               C 
We wait all day  
             D 
For night to come 
       Am           F             F 
And it comes like a hunter child
