Robbie Williams - 16 Tons: chords

Fm
Some people say a man is made outta mud
  Fm          D#         C#          C7
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Fm          D#        C#       C7
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
   Fm
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

Chorus:
          Fm      D#    C#         C7
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
  Fm        D#         C#        C7
Another day older and deeper in debt
      Fm              D#             C#      C7
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
  Fm
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Picked up the shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well, bless my soul!"

Chorus:
You loaded sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter doncha call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle names
Raised in the canebrake by an' ol' mama lion
Can't no high-tone woman make me walk the line

Chorus:
You loaded sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter doncha call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
With one fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha then the left one will

Chorus:
You loaded sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter doncha call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
