Am
I won't see you 'till Christmas
F
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
G
But the foreman he don't worry
G
He say work boy there's no hurry
EmAm
Don't that big red sun
EmAm
Look a lot like fire
F
When you come out of the ground
EsusE
After forty eight hours
CHORUS
CG/BAmGF
Going down down down down down
CG/BAmG
Going down in Durban deep
CG/BAmGF
Going down down down down down
CG/BAmG
There's no mercy in my sleep
CF
I just hear that drill and hammer
AmGF
I feel the killing heat
CG/BAmGF
Going two miles down to the heart
E7Am
Of Durban deep

Am
I was born on amen corner
F
I pound rock face, I get lonely
G
But my family they go hungry
G
Still the boss man he call us lazy

Don't the old blue heaven

Look a lot like your eyes
F
When you're blinded by the brightness
EsusE
Of the Transvaal sky
