Call The Captain
Artist: Steep Canyon Rangers
Capo 4
Intro: C Am C Am G C Am
C Am C Am
Call up the captain tell him I ain't comin' in
C Am C Am
He can dig his own coal something else is happening
C Am C Am
This living that I'm making is doing a sin
G Am
It's broken the lives of too many good men
C Am C Am
Been hauling coal since I was big enough to fight
C Am C Am
Some 30 odd shifts with out a glimpse of daylight
C Am C Am
The corporation likes to say that everythings alright
G
Dig yourself a hole get outta sight
C Am C Am
There's a dark cloud above me that's blocking out the sun
C Am C Am
Burn another hundred coal listen to the engines run
C Am C Am
One half is starving while the others having fun
G
So call the captain, call the captain, call the captain, call the captain
C Am C Am G C Am
(chorus)
C Am G
Melinda close the door
Am C
I ain't going down to the mines today
Am C G
I want clear blue skies and whole lot more
Am
I ain't going down to the mine
C Am C Am
There's a hole in this bucket I've been carrying around
C Am C Am
I fill it up to the top and watch it spill on the ground
C Am C Am
I go down to the mines and when I come back up
G Am
I got nothin' to show but the sweat on my brow
C Am C Am
These hills are my own flesh and bones
C Am C Am
There all that I love and there all that I know
C Am C Am
Please don't ask me to destroy my home
G
I'm not gonna choose between my heart and soul, so
C Am C Am
Call the Captain tell him I ain't coming in
C Am C Am
He can dig his own coal something else is happening
C Am C Am
This living that making is doing a sin
G
So call the captain, call the captain,....call the captain
C Am C Am G C Am
(chorus)
C Am C Am
Hear the whistle blow this morning
C Am
Hear the whistle blow today
C Am
Hear the whistle blow this morning
(chorus)
C Am
I ain't going down to the mine
G Am
I ain't going down to the mine
