Аккорды Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons

[Verse 1]:
     Am                   F          E
Some people say a man is made outta mud
  Am         G          F           E
A poor man's made outta muscle 'n blood...
Am         G          Dm       F
Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone
  Am                     E           Am
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[Chorus]:
Am               G        F        E
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Am          G         F          E
Another day older an' deeper in debt
       Am          G              Dm      F
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
Am                   E       Am
I owe my soul to the company store

[Riff]

[Verse 2]:
Am             G                F            E
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Am            G            F             E
Picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
Am             G        Dm          F
Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
        Am                     E        Am
And the strawboss said, "Well, bless my soul!"

[Chorus]:
Am               G        F        E
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Am          G         F          E
Another day older an' deeper in debt
       Am          G              Dm      F
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
Am                   E       Am
I owe my soul to the company store

[Riff]

[Verse 3]:
Am             G               F         E
I was born one morning in the drizzlin' rain
Am           G           F         E
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
Am    G                              Dm        F
I was raised in the canebreak by an' ol' mama lion
         Am                       E        Am
Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line.

[Chorus]:
Am               G        F        E
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Am          G         F          E
Another day older an' deeper in debt
       Am          G              Dm      F
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
Am                   E       Am
I owe my soul to the company store

[Riff]

[Verse 4]:
Am           G             F       E
If ya see me comin' better step aside
Am          G          F         E
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
Am                         Dm         F
With one fist of iron, the other of steel
       Am                             E         Am
If the right one don' getcha then the left one will.

[Chorus]:
Am               G        F        E
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Am          G         F          E
Another day older an' deeper in debt
       Am          G              Dm      F
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
Am                   E       Am
I owe my soul to the company store

[Riff]
