Am
[VERSE]
Am D7/F# G Am D7/F# G
All my life I've been digging Polish black coal
Am D7/F# G Am D7/F# G
It wasn't much but you know I could play that role
Am Am/G D7/F# Dm E7
They laid me off and so I kept my pail
Am D7/F# G Am D7/F# G E7
And now I wade in bushes down by the rail
[CHORUS]
Am F E7 D7
Raider man, got no choice about it
Am F E7 D7
Raider man, jumpin' up there on it
Am F E7 D7 Am E7
Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now
