Call the Captain Steep Canyon Rangers
By Steep Canyon Rangers
Capo 4
Call [C]up the c[Cmaj9]aptain tell em i[Am] aint comin in
He can[C] dig his own [Cmaj9]coal somthing esle i[Am]s happening
This l[C]iving that im m[Cmaj9]aking is doing [Am]us in
Hes br[G]oken the lives of too many good men
Been hauling coal since i was big enough to fight
Some 30 odd shift with out a glimpse of daylight
The corporation likes to say that everythings alright
Dig your self a hole get outa sight
Theres a dark cloud above me thats blocking out the sun
Burn another hundred coal listen to the engines run
1 half is starving while the others having fun
So call the captain, call the captain, call the captain, call the captiannn
(chorus)
M[Am]elinda c[G]lose the door
I aint going down to the m[C]ines [Am]today
I want' clear blue s[C]kys and w[G]hole lot more
I aint going down to the [Am]mines
(verse)
Theres a h[C]ole in this[Cmaj9] bucket ive been ca[Am]rrying around
I fill it [C]up to th[Cmaj9]e top and watch it [Am]spill on the ground
I go[C] down to the [Cmaj9]mines and when i c[Am]ome back up
I go[G]t nothin to show but the sweat on my brow
These hills are my own flesh and bones
There all that i love and there all that i know
Please dont ask me to destroy my own home
I'm not gonna choose between my heart and soul, soo
Call the Captain tell him i aint coming in
He can dig his own coal something else is happening
This living that making is doing us in
So call the captain, call the captain,.......call the captainnn
(solo)
(chorus)
H[C]ear the w[Cmaj9]histle blow this [Am]morning
H[C]ear the w[Cmaj9]histle blow tod[Am]ay
