Cousin Jack Show of Hands
[Verse 1]
[F#m]This land is barren and [D]broken
[E]Scarred like the face of the [A]moon[E]
[F#m]Our tongue is no longer [C#m]spoken
[D]Towns all around face [E]ruin
[F#m]Will there be work in New [D]Brunswick
[E]Will I find gold in the [A]Cape[E]
[F#m]If I tunnel way down to Aus[C#m]tralia
[D]Oh, how will I [E]ever escape
[Cborus]
[A]Where there's a mine or a [E]hole in the ground
[F#m]That's what I'm heading for t[D]hat's where I'm bound
[E]So look for me under the [A]lode and i[E]nside the v[D]ein[E]
[A]Where the copper the clay the [E]arsenic and tin
[F#m]Run in your blood and get u[D]nder your skin
[E]I'm leaving the county b[A]ehind and I'm [E]not coming [D]back
So, [E]follow me [D]down cousin [F#m]Jack
[Verse 2]
[F#m]The soil was too poor to make [D]Eden
[E]Granite and sea left no [A]choice[E]
[F#m]Though visions of heaven sustai[C#m]ned us
[D]When John Wesley gave us a [E]voice
[F#m]Did Joseph once come to St Micha[D]el's mount
[E]Two thousand years pass in a [A]dream[E]
[F#m]When you're working your way in the [C#m]darkness
[D]Deep in the heart of the [E]seam
[Cborus]
[A]Where there's a mine or a [E]hole in the ground
[F#m]That's what I'm heading for t[D]hat's where I'm bound
[E]So look for me under the [A]lode and i[E]nside the v[D]ein[E]
[A]Where the copper the clay the [E]arsenic and tin
[F#m]Run in your blood and get u[D]nder your skin
[E]I'm leaving the county b[A]ehind and I'm [E]not coming [D]back
So, [E]follow me [D]down cousin [F#m]Jack
[Verse 3]
[F#m]I dream of a bridge on the [D]Tamar
[E]It opens us up to the [A]east[E]
[F#m]And the English live in our [C#m]houses
[D]The Spanish fish in our [E]seas
[Cborus]
[A]Where there's a mine or a [E]hole in the ground
[F#m]That's what I'm heading for t[D]hat's where I'm bound
[E]So look for me under the [A]lode and i[E]nside the v[D]ein[E]
[A]Where the copper the clay the [E]arsenic and tin
[F#m]Run in your blood and get u[D]nder your skin
[E]I'm leaving the county b[A]ehind and I'm [E]not coming [D]back
So, [E]follow me [D]down cousin [F#m]Jack
