Verse 1:
           Am                        C                        G
We get the rocks in the box, get the water right down to your socks
     Em                                 Am
This bulkheads built of fallen brethren bones
       Am                   C               G
We all do what we can, we endure our fellow man
       Em                                           Am
And we sing our songs to the headframes, creeps and bones


Chorus 1:
         F                       C
And it's one, two, three, of the wrong side of the lee
        G                  Am
What we meant for, what we meant for
        F                                C
And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
    G                                            Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
    G                                            Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
And you won't make it time on this gray ground of mountain mine
Of dirt your made and of dirt you will return
So while were living here, let's get this other one thing clear
There's plenty of men to die, you don't jump your turn

And it's one, two, three, of the wrong side of the lee
What we meant for, what we meant for
And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

And it's one, two, three, of the wrong side of the lee
What we meant for, whatever your meant for
And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
